About the author:
Dr. Hoaglund is a geologist with more than 20 years of experience in
environmental research, teaching, and consulting in the private
sector, government, and academia. He received his BS and MS degrees
in geology from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin,
then worked with the Kansas Geological Survery in Lawrence, Kansas
on research to find water supplies to replace the depleting Ogallala
Aquifer in western Kansas. He then entered into environmental
consulting in Wichita, Kansas, largely working on cold war legacy
ground water contamination. He completed his doctorate in geology
from Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, completing
a USGS regional model of the Michigan Basin that was used to
calculate discharge of modern and Pleistocene groundwater and brine
to both Michigan rivers and the Great Lakes shoreline. He taught
hydrogeology and modeling, environmental geology, and glacial and
climate geology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, before joining the Pennsylvania State University in
University Park, Pennsylvania. At Penn State he was involved
in research sponsored by the National Science Foundation to couple
regional climate models with regional hydrologic models. Other
research included the geological controls affecting nitrate
discharge in regional watershed, as part of USDA funded nitrate
studies. He taught at Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania before moving to California.
Since moving to southern California, Dr. Hoaglund has resumed work
on cold war legacy ground water contamination, and energy consulting
related to water resource development, desalination, renewable
energy development, hydrogen production, and CO2 sequestration.
