Biography & Research Interests

Hi my name is Brett! I am a computational hydrogeologist in MBMG's Ground Water Investigation Program and am interested in applications of hydrogeophysics, a field that incorporates traditional methods in groundwater hydrology with novel geophysical techniques. I integrate hydrogeophysics into my numerical models in order to answer targeted questions about Montana's groundwater systems. The specific methods that I apply to accomplish my research goals include programming to automate data collection and modeling tasks, gravimetry, passive seismic interferometry, and geodetic techniques.
