Aquanty founder Ed Sudicky - 1994 Darcy Lecturer
Did you know that Ed Sudicky (Chairman, Lead Scientist and one of the original founders of Aquanty) has the distinguished honour of being selected as an early Darcy lecturer?
The Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecture Series in Groundwater Science is an annual lecture series that has highlighted the research of one outstanding groundwater professional since 1986. At Aquanty we’re extremely proud that one of our founding members was selected to deliver the 1994 Darcy Lecture series.
Dr. Sudicky’s lecture (Contaminant Migration in Complex-Structure Porous and Fractured-Porous Geologic Media: A Simulation Perspective) can be viewed on the NGWAs YouTube channel. It’s really an interesting lecture if you want to see some of the early efforts to model contaminant transport in fractured media using FRAC3DVS (a precursor to HydroGeoSphere developed by Dr. René Therrien - yet another of Aquanty’s founding members).

"Contaminant Migration in Complex-Structure Porous and Fractured-Porous Geologic Media: A Simulation Perspective" was the title of the Darcy Lecture given by Edward Sudicky, Ph.D. Professor Sudicky received his Ph.D. in earth sciences from the University of Waterloo in 1983 where he is currently an associate professor and a member of the Waterloo Centre for Groundwater Research. His specific interests include the development of analytical and numerical models for application to a variety of groundwater problems, field studies of the spatial variability of flow and contaminant transport parameters, geostatistics, tracer tests, and stochastic approaches to subsurface flow and transport. At the time of his lecture, he had been involved since 1983 in research focused on both field and numerical simulation studies of contaminant migration processes in heterogeneous geological materials. Sudicky's lecture was heard by more than 3500 persons at 41 academic sites in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Israel.”
