New Technologies for Remediation Site Characterization

Wednesday, October 9th ~ 12-2pm EST

Presenters: Rick Cramer, Janet Castle, & Hannah Anderson

In this EnviroClass, you’ll learn about the advancements in groundwater characterization, remediation optimization, and groundwater basin management. Below is more information about our speakers and what they are teaching on this EnviroClass.

Rick Cramer is a Sr. Principal Geologist at Geosyntec with more than 30 years of experience focused on developing improved understandings of subsurface conditions to solve groundwater problems. Mr. Cramer developed the Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy (ESS) technology which produces robust geologic models and supports conceptual site models that more accurately represents the heterogeneous conditions underlying most groundwater contaminated sites. ESS has been established as a best practice for environmental site management by the US EPA and is considered a best practice for PFAS RIs by the United States Air Force and Navy.

Janet Castle is a PG and the President of Eagle Synergistic. She will be co-presenting with Hannah Anderson, Geoscientist, from Eagle Synergistic. Ms. Castle founded the company based on knowledge from her petrophysics role in the energy sector, where she became passionate about optimizing hydraulic fracturing by utilizing logging tools and 3D modeling. Today, her team at Eagle Synergistic serves their remediation clients across the country by implementing High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) tools for subsurface imaging and 3D visualizations. Eagle Synergistic is a certified 8(a) company and they have completed numerous HRSC federal projects, including PFAs sites. With a focus on optimizing technologies, they have broad capabilities within the geotechnical, environmental, vapor intrusion, field GC, geophysical, and more.
