Dr. Kip Solomon will be the 2005 Darcy lecturer. His education includes a Ph.D. in earth sciences from the University of Waterloo, an M.S. in geology from the University of Utah, and a B.S. in geological engineering from the University of Utah. From 1993 to the present he has been employed by the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah where he is currently a professor and Director of the Noble gas Laboratory. Solomon has been appointed to the National Research Council's Committee on Improving Practices for Regulating and Managing Low-Activity Radioactive Waste, 2003 to present. He is currently the vice president elect of the Hydrology Division of the Geological Society of America (GSA). He was on the editorial board for Ground Water from 1997 to 2001, and was the Joint Technical Program Chair for the GSA's annual meeting in 1997. Solomon's lecture subject is "Inert Gas Tracers in Ground Water." The presentation will illustrate the basic concepts of using inert gas tracers along with case studies that describe their applications to real ground water flow problems.
The case
studies will focus on ground water dating, noble gas thermometry
or inject gas tracers, depending on the interests of the hosting
institution. |
