The 1st Geochemical Modeling: PHREEQC and Beyond Conference and Course event enabled participants to learn about best practices and innovative projects using PHREEQC, a powerful reaction/transport modeling tool developed by the U.S. Geological Survey and used by water agencies and consultants to perform aqueous geochemical calculations. Visit the event website to view topics, presenters, and event sponsors at: https://www.GeochemicalModeling.com

The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) awarded the 2024 M. King Hubbert Award to Stavros S. Papadopulos, PhD, PE. This award is given to a person who has made a major science or engineering contribution to the groundwater industry through research, technical papers, teaching, and practical applications.

Since 1998, SSP&A has sponsored MODFLOW and More – a conference series that unites cutting-edge developments and practical applications of hydrologic models related to groundwater in a vibrant forum attended by researchers, developers, practitioners, and regulators in the groundwater modeling community to convene, share experiences, and propagate ideas.

SSP&A’s Well-DOC System, an innovative solution to eliminate well fouling, is published as U.S. Patent No. 11619113.

The The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) awarded the 2021 Keith E. Anderson Award to Erica DiFilippo, PhD, for outstanding contributions made to NGWA in the Scientists and Engineers Section.

The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) highlighted
Erica DiFilippo, PhD, in honor of Women’s History Month.

The Darcy Lecture Series was established in 1986 by the National Groundwater Association (NGWA) to promote outstanding achievements in the field of groundwater hydrogeology. Each year, a panel of scientists and engineers select a groundwater professional to share their work with peers and students around the world. SSP&A was a proud sponsor of the Darcy Lecture Series in 2018 and 2019. 

The Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) PFAS Team produces concise technical resources to help regulators and other stakeholders improve their understanding of the current science regarding per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Erica DiFilippo, PhD, is part of the Fate and Transport subgroup.

Since 2011, SSP&A has supported the Farvolden Scholarships, which are used to honor outstanding contributions to the disciplines of earth science and engineering that emphasize the role or importance of groundwater in memory of Robert Farvolden of the University of Waterloo and former National Ground Water Association Director of Science and Technology.

MT3D-USGS, an updated release of MT3DMS and product of collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey and S.S. Papadopulos & Associates, Inc. is released.

In collaboration with the University of Waterloo, SSP&A developed
mod-PATH3DU – a powerful, state-of-the-art particle tracking software for groundwater models with unstructured grids.
