Groundwater Modeler

Groundwater Modelers work with the mathematical and computer modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in the subsurface. They use complex computer models to simulate the movement of water and contaminants through groundwater systems, which can help them to predict the effects of various scenarios, such as climate change or groundwater contamination.

What does a Groundwater Modeler do?

Groundwater Modelers use a variety of tools and techniques to develop and run groundwater models. These tools and techniques include:

• Mathematical modeling: Groundwater Modelers use mathematical equations to describe the flow of water and contaminants through groundwater systems.
• Computer modeling: Groundwater Modelers use computer software to solve the mathematical equations that describe groundwater flow and contaminant transport.
• Data analysis: Groundwater Modelers use data analysis techniques to interpret the results of their models and to make predictions about the future behavior of groundwater systems.

Groundwater Modelers work on a variety of projects, including:
