Undergrad only... santa rosa junior college and UC Davis BS 1982. landed an excellent job at the end of my senior year. working for the Union Oil Company (76 ball) as a technician. spent my geologic career doing geophysical surveys at geothermal prospects in Oregon, Nevada, and Utah. I then worked with the geposhysicists to install microearthquake networks in the Imperial Valley (Yuck!, Salton Sea is also known as the Sono Bono National Wildlife Refuge. A strange irony to say the leastbecause it is essentially an end point for agricultural drainage) Mammoth/Long Valley, Medicine Lake in northern California and then a permanent istallation at The Geysers geothermal field. Sampled pretty much every well for oxygen/hydrogen istope ratios and non-condesible gasses to characterize the steam. We used this data along with the microearthquakes to determine the life cycle of injected steam condensate, fresh water and treated effluent from Lake county and the City of Santa Rosa. Also to quantify the value of injection and identify areas that could utilize increased injection. Then I did environmental work for The Geysers and finished my career with State of California providing regulatory oversight for remediation of contaminated properties. there ys go. if you like we could continue the discussion on the messaging side of substack...
