Jennie Munster, PhD, Hydrogeologist
Dr. Munster specializes in addressing water-quality issues, and in planning, tracing and managing ground-water recharge. She also assists with geomorphic investigations and hydrologic modeling. Many of her applications are designed to assess long-term habitat or potability concerns. Her background is in geology and hydrology supplemented with experience in soil science and ecology.
