Edward Potts

Staff Geologist @Todd Groundwater

Alameda, CA, US

I take part in complex site evaluations, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. My role involves field investigations, hydrogeologic data collection, and executing aquifer tests, soil and groundwater sampling, and subsurface survey techniques.Hydrological Analysis: Execute complex evaluations of surface, subsurface, and groundwater contamination, providing meticulous hydrogeological analyses and interpretations.Report Writing: Develop comprehensive hydrogeologic reports, incorporating detailed graphs, maps, cross-sections, drilling logs and summaries for in-depth analysis.Hydrological Assessment: Assess impacts on water quantity, quality, and natural groundwater systems arising from diverse activities like mining and seawater intrusion.Data Evaluation: Evaluate laboratory data for soil and water samples, ensuring stringent compliance with established standards.Field Measurement and Evaluation: Conduct and evaluate field measurements, encompassing aquifer tests, monitoring well placement, and various subsurface survey techniques.Statistical Analysis: Compile and statistically analyze technical data related to water quantity, quality, hydrologic programs, and conservation.Modelling and Simulation: Develop and modify computer models simulating groundwater flow and containment transport.Sedimentology: Sedimentological analysis and geological interpretation, with expertise in unraveling the complex depositional history and characteristics of sedimentary rocks within sedimentary basins.Utilizing geophysical methods, such as resistivity and Aerial Electromagnetic Surveys (AEM) to characterize subsurface structures and identify potential water resources.My multifaceted role not only contributes to the success of hydrogeological projects but also plays a crucial part in effective water resource management and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
