TODD M. MIHEVC

EDUCATION:

M.S., Hydrogeology, University of Nevada, Reno
B.S., Geology, University of Nevada, Reno

PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:

Mr. Mihevc has a broad range of hydrologic interests. Current research is directed toward the understanding of groundwater flow systems in the desert environment. As an element of the broader topic, an intensive investigation was conducted to estimate groundwater recharge from perennial stream channels.

Other research is focused on the evaluation of monitoring wells through the use of hydrophysical logging equipment. A chemical logging tool was developed to determine chemical and physical parameters in deep wells. These data are combined with other physical measurements and chemical analysis to determine the effectiveness of monitoring wells.

RESEARCH AREAS:

Hydrology of the Unsaturated Zone; Contaminant Transport; Hydrogeological Controls on Availability and Quality of Ground Water; Integrated Watershed System
