Charles Edward Heywood
An exceptional earth science teacher kindled my interest in earthquakes and plate tectonics. Working as a geophysicist doing marine geology, I saw a need to maintain healthy freshwater supplies, and morphed into a geo-hydrologist. I apply geophysics for groundwater basin analysis, study aquifer mechanics and land subsidence, and model groundwater flow and transport at regional and local scales.

Estimation of alluvial-fill thickness in the Mimbres ground-water basin, New Mexico, from interpretation of isostatic residual gravity anomalies
The geologic structure of the Mimbres ground-water basin in southwest New Mexico is characterized by north- and northwest-trending structural subbasins. Sedimentation of Miocene and Pliocene age has filled and obscured the boundaries of these subbasins and formed potentially productive aquifers of varied thickness. The location and depth of the subbasins can be estimated from analysis of isostatic

Ground displacements caused by aquifer-system water-level variations observed using interferometric synthetic aperture radar near Albuquerque, New Mexico
Six synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images were
processed to form five unwrapped interferometric
(InSAR) images of the greater metropolitan area in the
Albuquerque Basin. Most interference patterns in the
images were caused by range displacements resulting
from changes in land-surface elevation. Loci of land-
surface elevation changes correlate with changes in
aquifer-system water leve

Analytical results of a long-term aquifer test conducted near the Rio Grande, Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a section on piezometric-extensometric test results
The City of Albuquerque, New Mexico, is interested in gaining a
better understanding, both quantitative and qualitative, of
the aquifer system in and around Albuquerque. Currently (2000), the
City of Albuquerque and surrounding municipalities are
completely dependent on ground-water reserves for their municipal
water supply. This report presents the results of a long-term aquifer
test
