    David F. Boutt

  • B.S., Environmental Geosciences - Lyman Briggs School of Science, Michigan State University, 1997
  • M.S., Geology, Michigan State University, 1999, Thesis:  INTERPRETING THE IMPACTS OF LAND USE ON WATER QUALITY USING GROUNDWATER FLOW AND TRANSPORT SIMULATIONS IN THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY WATERSHED
  • Ph.D., Hydrology, New Mexico Tech, 2004.  Thesis Topic:  Using a combination of numerical modeling (discrete elements and lattice-Boltzmann) and laboratory tests to examine the role of fluids and fluid movement in the control of fracture growth in sedimentary basins
  • Recipient of a 2002 Horton Research Grant from the American Geophysical Union for dissertation research on the role of fluids in the Earth's crust.
  • Scott Cooper
  • B.S., South Dakota School of Mines
