Dr. Trenton T. Cladouhos
B.S., Geology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 1988
Ph.D., Geological Sciences, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, 1993.
Dr. Cladouhos is a Project Geologist in the FracMan Technology Group. Dr. Cladouhos
has performed the discrete fracture data analysis, and fluid flow modeling for
a diverse set of FracMan Projects. Projects he has worked on in the nuclear
waste field include the North Carolina Low Level Nuclear Waste disposal facility,
and Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC, Japan) fracture
flow modeling. In the oil industry, he has worked on the Fractured Reservoir
Discrete Feature Network Technologies research project for BDM-Oklahoma and
for various confidential clients.
Dr. Cladouhos is also an adjunct professor in the Department
of Geology at the University of Washington. His research there, begun while
a postdoctoral research associate, involves field and theoretical study of fault
gouge and breccia from extremely well-exposed fault zones in Death Valley National
Park, CA. Cladouhos has taught two courses at UW: Structural Geology (Spring
1996) and Geomechanics (Winter 1997). During the Spring 1998 quarter, he will
be teaching a new course on Fractured Rock Hydrogeology, along with Golder colleagues
Drs. Dershowitz, Doe, and La Pointe.
Dr. Cladouhos' fields of expertise include:
- Field study of fractures, faults, and fault zones
- Quantitative analysis of orientation, size, spatial structure, and flow/transport
properties of fractured rock from core, borehole logs, and geologic mapping
- FracMan discrete feature network (DFN) modeling and visualization
- DFN flow/transport and modeling
- Kinematic and dynamic analysis of fractures and faults
