DONALD M. REEVES

EDUCATION:

Ph.D., Hydrogeology, University of Nevada, Reno, 2006.
M.S., Geology/Hydrogeology, University of Montana, Missoula, 2001.
B.S., Soils and Environmental Science, Montana State University, Bozeman, 1998.

PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:

Dr. Reeves’ primary research interests are the numerical simulation of fluid flow and contaminant transport through geologic media and the use of non-local, fractional-order advection-dispersion equations to describe anomalous transport, i.e., fast and slow breakthrough tailing. His most recent work involves the characterization and simulation of fluid flow and radionuclide transport in fractured rock masses. Dr. Reeves is also interested in the role of geologic structures on ground water flow and transport, statistical analysis and stochastic reproduction of rock fracture data, rock fracture mechanics, linking heterogeneity to non-local equation parameters, conceptual and parametric uncertainty, basin-scale water resource issues, and subsurface stormflow in watersheds.

RESEARCH AREAS: Hydrogeology; Numerical Modeling; Contaminant Transport; Fractured Media; Rock Fracture Mechanics; Hillslope Hydrology; Groundwater-Surface Water Interaction
