Expertise You Can Trust

Stephen W. Wheatcraft, PhD Sr. Consultant Humatec Hydrogeology Expertise You Can Trust Dr. Wheatcraft has more than 40 years of experience in groundwater hydrology. During his career, he has conducted extensive research in the transport of contaminants in heterogeneous porous media, hydrogeophysics, numerical modeling, well hydraulics, and many other Cloverleaf Office Park areas of groundwater hydrology. Dr. Wheatcraft is an expert in 6405 Metcalf Ave. groundwater contamination from numerous sources, including gasoline, Suite 220 pesticides, nuclear operations and other hazardous materials. Dr. Overland Park, KS 66202 Wheatcraft has served as editor and peer reviewer for most hydrology Phone: 913-261-3500 journals, the National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection www.humatec.com Agency and Department of Energy, among others. He has been awarded more than $25 million dollars in grant funding from the Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency, and other private and government sources. Dr. Wheatcraft was named the 1990 Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecturer by the National Groundwater Association, an honor given to one person each year out of 18,000 members. Dr. Wheatcraft gave his Darcy Lecture to more than 40 universities and government institutions in the U.S. and Canada. He serves as Professor Emeritus of Hydrogeology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Since 1988, Dr. Wheatcraft has provided expert consulting and litigation support for dozens of projects and cases, and testified in state and federal court for many of the cases.
