Mr. Dale is a senior hydrogeologist with over 19 years of experience in the fields of hydrogeology and environmental services specializing in the application of groundwater numerical models, deep-borehole permeability testing, system performance assessment analyses, and project management.  Mr. Dale has applied a wide variety of model applications for saturated and unsaturated groundwater conditions, thermally impact groundwater flow systems, and fate and transport of chlorinated solvents, metals, and radioactive elements. He has conducted numerous groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling studies for several U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Energy facilities throughout the United States. Mr. Dale has experience with the design, performance, and/or analysis of field-testing programs for characterization of potential host-rock formations for both domestic and international, shallow- and deep-geological disposal programs.  He has been involved with testing programs in the U.S., France, and Switzerland, and is currently working with the U.K. (NDA) on the early stages of their geological disposal characterization program.  Mr. Dale has been involved in the performance of several total system performance assessments of the proposed U.S. Department of Energy’s high-level radioactive water repository at Yucca Mountain.  His recent emphasis has been on parameter uncertainty characterization and the application of sub- and total-system uncertainty importance techniques for ranking of stochastic parameter importance to the overall system metrics.
