FIELD NOTES

The Aquifer Science & Research Team performs several data collection tasks to include water chemistry samples, stream flow measurements, and research related water level transect data sets. This team is also responsible for turning the data into answers through research. For example, projects such as the Interformational Flow Study and conducted Vulnerability Assessment Study are by this team.

Mr. Bertetti oversees the development and implementation of the EAA’s research program and aquifer science data collection activities. For more than 25 years, Mr. Bertetti has worked as a research scientist investigating a wide range of topics related to the hydrogeology and geochemistry of complex aquifer systems such as the Edwards, Carrizo-Wilcox, and Trinity aquifers. He has also conducted numerous in-field, laboratory, and modeling studies to examine the sorption and ion-exchange behavior of dissolved Mr. Bertetti holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Geology from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
