Matt Gozdor is a Senior Scientist based in Florida with more than 20 years of experience in groundwater flow and fate and transport modeling, quantitative hydrogeology, and hydrogeochemistry.
Matt has practical experience in reducing large amounts of data, performing quantitative analysis, and using that data to provide data visualizations and develop conceptual site models. These conceptual models become the basis for analytical or numerical models he uses to help evaluate remedial alternatives, develop dewatering strategies, evaluate groundwater extraction impacts to springs and surface waters, evaluate strategies for climate resiliency mitigation plans, complete mining permits, and assist in obtaining water use permits throughout the U.S. and Europe.
The foundation of Matt’s modeling experience is based on field hydrogeologic and hydrologic studies. This helps to make decisions about data useability and reliability that help create more useful models. Matt worked in an analytical chemistry laboratory before beginning his career in environmental consulting which gives him an edge in evaluating laboratory data prior to transport model construction, evaluating the fate and transport of inorganic and organic compounds, and evaluating changes in hydrogeochemistry of aquifers. Matt has presented papers at multiple national conferences, including the National Groundwater Association Annual Conference, Battelle Remediation Conference, and Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration National Conference. He is also past Chairman of the Florida Section of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration.
