Geosyntec is a sponsor of the event.
Spencer is a Project Scientist who addresses surface-water biochemistry and environmental isotope geochemistry, with a focus on mercury cycling. He brings expertise in stable isotope measurements and mass spectrometry, as well as in environmental geochemical analyses.
Harsh is a Professional Consultant who specializes in hydrologic modeling. As part of his doctoral research focus, he analyzed future recharge trends in Minnesota using Global Climate Model climate projection data and evaluated how seasonally frozen ground can influence recharge.
Deanna is a Senior Staff Scientist who focuses on mine water management and geochemistry modeling. She specializes in passive mine closure and remediation involving advanced cover systems to limit acid mine drainage.
The SME Conference is a three-day event that brings together more than 6,000 industry professionals from across the world to share ideas, best practices, and research in more than 120 technical sessions.
The SME is a nonprofit professional society with more than 14,000 members, most of whom are professionals serving the minerals industry worldwide. SME members include engineers, geologists, metallurgists, educators, students, and researchers.
