Applying predictive modeling to geology and hydrology
Dr Joshua Valder recently completed his PhD from the well-respected South Dakota School of Mines and T echnology. As part of the Atmosphere and Environmental Sciences program in the Civil and Geological Engineering, he was focused on developing an approach that uses multivariate statistical methods in identifying unknown source areas and mixing proportions for geologic and hydrologic processes. Innovative use of PCA Josh identified there was
