About Murray Einarson
My professional focus is on developing and applying innovative approaches and technologies for more accurate and less expensive characterization of the subsurface environment. I am an advocate of developing robust conceptual models of the subsurface - starting with the subsurface geology - and then collecting targeted data to characterize subsurface contamination quickly and efficiently. I am a developer and advocate of high-resolution site characterization (HRSC) technologies, especially when deployed along transects to characterize dissolved contaminant plumes. I believe flux-based metrics of groundwater contamination are better predictors of risk to groundwater receptors than point concentrations, which have been shown to be extremely variable in the subsurface. I enjoy designing and performing site-scale investigations but particularly enjoy projects where possible impacts to water supply wells have occurred or are speculated. I am committed to education and frequently provide technical training to local, state and federal regulatory agencies. I have been an instructor in the Princeton Remediation Course and the Waterloo Graduate Hydrogeology Field School for 20 years. I enjoy applied research and collaboration with universities in the US and Canada. I have 11 peer-reviewed publications, one book chapter, and three patents on site characterization technologies that are widely used today. In addition to working at Haley & Aldrich, I also serve on the Board of Directors of the California Groundwater Resources Association (GRAC).
Experience
Course Instructor
Jun 2000 — Present · US
Instructor on site characterization and cost-effective development of robust Site Conceptual Models (SCMs). My lectures provide an overview of key discoveries made in contaminant hydrogeology in the last 30 years and strategies and technologies to streamline characterization and monitoring of subsurface contamination based on our new understanding of the subsurface environment.The Princeton Groundwater Pollution and Princeton Remediation courses are offered twice a year in Miami, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada. They are the most comprehensive and current short courses on contaminant hydrogeology and environmental engineering in North America.
