Mr. Karanovic has technical expertise in hydrogeology, numerical groundwater modeling, and programming. He is the developer of GroundWater Desktop, a fully three-dimensional (3D) interface for visualization and 3D analysis of groundwater models, their inputs, and their results, and other environmental data such. He also developed KT3D_H2O, a MapWindows plug-in for a custom version of the GSLIB KT3D program that incorporates analytic elements and particle-tracking for water level analysis and capture zone analyses.

Mr. Karanovic’s experience includes working with groundwater flow models to assess flow and transport of contaminants at numerous CERCLA sites nationwide.
