Scott Brinton

Hydrogeologist

Scott Brinton is a hydrogeologist and specializes in environmental investigations and also supports groundwater resource evaluations. His academic emphasis is in hydrology, structural geology and geostatistics. He has wellsite geology experience including construction of monitoring wells using cable tool, sonic, and air rotary drilling methods and the collection of vadose and aquifer sediment samples. He also has experience with various field methods for determining aquifer properties. Scott is trained to perform field work in hazardous and radioactive conditions.  In addition, he is experienced in the use of AutoCAD, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and in field and laboratory procedures for analytical geochemistry.

Scott’s thesis research involved a detailed geostatistical study of a fault controlled hydrothermal area in central Nevada. He used geochemical analysis, GPS mapping and geostatistics to develop a permeability model, based on ground and hot springs temperature data.
