B.A., Geology, Pomona College, 1971
M.S., Geology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1973
Ph.D., Geology and Mining Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1980
Dr. Doe is the manager of the FracMan Technology Group, and a Principal of
Golder Associates Inc. Dr. Doe is an authority in the fields of:
Dr. Doe is a pioneer in the development of fractional
dimension type curve methods for understanding connectivity patterns, permeability,
and storativity. His projects include both fundamental research in international
facilities (Sweden, Japan) and applied projects (underground gas storage, low
level waste facilities, landfill site characterization). Dr. Doe has worked
extensively on interpretation of well tests in fractured rock to determine hydraulic
and geometric characteristics of fractures. He also has an established world-wide
reputation in the design of stress measurement programs for underground construction,
having performed programs in the US, Canada, Taiwan, and Sweden. His major areas
of work are in hydraulic fracturing and in hydraulic jacking tests for designing
high-pressure water tunnels.
Dr. Doe is Vice President of the American
Rock Mechanics Association., and a Principal of Golder Associates Inc.
Dr. Doe has carried out over 50 geotechnical and hydrogeological projects in
fractured rock. Major projects include:
