Stephen H. Hall –
Senior Geochemist
Steve Hall has more than 33 years of
interdisciplinary experience in geochemistry, hydrogeology,
mineralogy, and analytical and physical chemistry for
environmental projects and the minerals industry. He has served
as project leader, technical contributor, or consultant on field
projects throughout the United States. These projects include
aquifer characterization for ground water thermal energy storage
in Alabama, pre-pilot uranium extraction and aquifer restoration
at in situ leach mining prospects in Wyoming and New
Mexico, ground water flow estimation using tracer methods at a
Montana gold mine, sampling and trace analysis of fuel-derived
lead contamination in the unconfined aquifer at a military base
in Alaska, and demonstration of minimum-purge ground water
sampling methods at a national priority site in California.
Field projects at the Hanford site include directing the
Hydrochemistry Unit of the Basalt Waste Isolation Project for
sampling, analysis, and geochemical characterization of ground
water in deep basalt aquifers; ground water flow rate estimation
using tracer methods at the Hanford In Situ
Bioremediation Test Site; and testing and evaluation of ground
water sampling equipment. Steve’s other accomplishments include
theoretical derivation of ground water tracer methods, design
and development of remote chemical sensors, design of ground
water sampling equipment, evaluation of quality control in water
analysis, laboratory design and operation (including field
labs), and analytical methods development. Steve’s work is
reflected in 35 published refereed papers, conference papers,
reports, and patents.
