Hoaglund, III, Ph.D. 814-574-2649 [email protected] Suite 9-336 7500 W Lake Mead Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89128 ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0000-2230-4687 I solve problems in groundwater contamination and modeling; environmental forensics; and water desalination and treatment coupled with renewable energy, hydrogen production, and CO2 sequestration. Expertise includes: • Development of carbon sequestration projects involving mineralization, algae, and aqueous geochemistry • Isotopic and geochemical environmental forensics • Ground water flow and contaminant transport modeling at site specific and regional scales • Aquifer storage and recovery feasibility studies • Seawater barrier feasibility studies • Water supply development and pumping well interference studies. • Water supply development for energy projects, carbon sequestration, and hydrogen production • Green remediation of chlorinated solvents, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals • Ground water investigations, including pump tests, slug tests, and ground water monitoring • Geological and hydrogeological mapping • Research and development of computer codes for 3D solid modeling for ground water models • Expert witness for clients in legal proceedings • Visiting assistant professor conducting courses in hydrogeology, ground water modeling, environmental geology, glacial and climate geology, and natural disasters Excellent public speaker: Lectures and teaches topics within hydrogeology, groundwater modeling, environmental geology, energy resources, glacial geology, and the geologic history of climate change. Seasoned expert witness in environmental forensics and water quality [Flint, Michigan lead (Pb) crisis]. Efficient groundwater modeler: Assembles modeling data sets and computer programs to incorporate data into large-scale models. See GeoSolid3D Sourceforge project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/geosolid3d ) and software support page ( http://geosolid3d.blogspot.com ). Field proficient hydrogeologist. Skilled computer programmer (Fortran, C, Visual Basic, Matlab).
Non-profit consultation in the geology, hydrogeology, groundwater modeling, environmental, and water quality aspects of carbon sequestration by mineralization.

I advise research projects and teach courses in the geosciences. I founded and consult with the non-profit Carbon Negative Water and Energy
Conducted groundwater investigations of industrial and agricultural sites involving environmental isotopic forensics; basin-scale investigations of perchlorate plumes in southwestern California; statistical trends analysis; and groundwater modeling. Participated in client strategy meetings for litigation and environmental compliance.
Taught courses in environmental geology, and natural disasters.
Research: effects of climate on regional scale-hydrogeology (NSF); Development: techniques for the delineation of wellhead protection zones at regional scales (PA-DEP), Research: structural geologic controls on groundwater flow and related nitrate loading (USDA); Development: computer programs for 3D solid model construction from geological maps and GIS data (GeoSolid3D)
