James Patterson (BS Geology, 2008; MS Geology, 2017)

I'm currently doing research on groundwater geochemistry in the Upper Kittitas County with Dr. Carey Gazis. In addition to working towards my Masters of Science from CWU, I'm also working for the USGS in the regional Tacoma Hydrology office. When I'm not doing research, I spend most of my time in true geology fashion - out exploring my thesis area where I'm also living.
