Author Description

Klaus Rathfelder, PhD, joined GeoSyntec Consultants after 12 years as a research scientist in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. He has extensive experience in the development and application of numerical simulation models for fluid flow and contaminant transport in groundwater systems. Klaus developed several numerical models for the Electric Power Research Industry that are used to predict the migration of hazardous immiscible liquids such as fuels, solvents, and organic liquids. He also developed comprehensive simulation models for EPA, which are applicable for evaluation and design of subsurface remediation systems such soil vapor extraction, bioventing, and surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR).
