Calvin Anderson
Associate ModelerCalvin Anderson
Associate Modeler
Calvin Anderson
Calvin Anderson has two years of experience supporting our modeling team in the development of groundwater models and conducting model runs for a variety of groundwater resource projects. His experience includes organizing and interpolating water quality data as well as creating nitrogen and TDS loading criteria based on land use and recharge volume for an integrated model of the Upper Santa Ana River Basin.
Calvin has also supported modeling efforts in the completion of multiple Groundwater Sustainability Plans, including one for the Arlington Basin, as well as the Upper San Luis Rey Valley. He has also created a GIS-based tool to assist in the site selection for production and injections wells and recharge basins for various organizations.
David Barnes
Senior ModelerDavid Barnes
Senior Modeler
David Barnes, MEng
David has more than 13 years of experience performing groundwater modeling and regional water supply studies for municipal clients and public agencies, specializing in the development of groundwater, surface water and hydrogeologic models, as well as data processing and GIS to support modeling efforts. Additionally, David is experienced in well design and construction processes with wide-ranging experience in field hydrology, aquifer testing, and characterization methods. His experience has included assisting in the development of a regional groundwater model to support a Habitat Conservation Plan, where he assessed the impacts of water management decisions on shallow groundwater, streamflow, and riparian areas. David’s experience also includes a geohydrologic analysis of future groundwater production, assessing the future proposed pumping operations for a municipal wellfield. To complete the assessment, he developed a local groundwater flow model and also developed a solute transport model to assess water quality in the wellfield.

Associate Geohydrologist
Lindsay is an Associate Hydrologist at Geoscience involved in well design and construction management and basin studies. Prior to joining our team, Lindsay was an undergraduate teaching assistant at Colorado State University and taught Mineralogy, Optical Mineralogy, and Introduction to Geology. As a graduate teaching assistant, she taught Geology, Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Optical Mineralogy, and Field Camp. She was an office assistant for the American Professional Geologists and spent time as a Laboratory Technician working with soil classification, and commercial site development.
Coral Shaw
Senior Associate GeohydrologistCoral Shaw
Senior Associate Geohydrologist
Coral Shaw, GIT
Coral has nearly a decade of professional experience from working as a field geologist on over 20 well construction projects including high-capacity municipal supply wells, test boreholes, injection wells, and monitoring wells. Coral is experienced performing well construction inspection for tasks such as pilot borehole drilling and reaming, casing inspection and installation, air lifting and swabbing, development by pumping, and down-hole video logging. She has performed various pumping test analyses, including large scale pumping tests and water quality sample collection. Coral also prepares well siting reports, preliminary well design reports, well designs based on data collected during the drilling process, provide final pump design recommendations, and final summary reports.
