Joel Thompson
Principal Hydrogeologist
Joel has spent over 25 years in the hydrogeology and environmental consulting fields. He’s developed expertise in the quantitative analysis of hydrogeologic systems, groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling, vadose zone contaminant fate and transport, groundwater monitoring system design, and conceptual model development. But his expertise doesn’t stop there—he’s also well versed in industrial contaminant site investigations and remediation of chemicals from chlorinated solvents, metals, and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) to petroleum hydrocarbons and PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
Working with a wide range of clients in the petroleum, industrial, and energy sectors to provide key services, Joel has delivered hydrogeologic investigations, modeling of groundwater performance and contaminant transport, groundwater/surface water interaction investigations, aquifer characterization, third party review, and statistical analysis for geologic and groundwater chemistry data.
Joel believes that shared community spaces—parks, trails, amphitheaters, and gardens—are the glue that binds a community together and facilitates a deeper connection to people and places. In his community, one of Joel’s favorite places to spend time is Meadowlark Community Garden.
