Robert Mutch has more than forty years of experience in hydrogeology, groundwater and contaminant fate and transport modeling, environmental forensics, and remediation engineering. His areas of specialization include numerical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport, fate, and reaction during in situ treatment and monitored natural attenuation, aquifer testing, DNAPL behavior, fractured rock hydrogeology, aerial photographic interpretation, and groundwater-related natural resource damages.  Mr. Mutch has extensive experience in the modeling and design of hazardous waste site remedial measures ranging from groundwater extraction systems and subsurface barrier walls to in situ chemical reduction (ISCR), soil vapor extraction (SVE), and monitored natural attenuation (MNA). His experience also includes radioisotope dating of groundwater and sediments using tritium, Cesium- 137, and Lead-210.  He has taught more than 100 training courses in hydrogeology and hazardous waste site and landfill remediation throughout the U.S. and in Europe and Australia. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University and previously served for 20 years as an Adjunct Professor at Manhattan College where he taught graduate-level courses in groundwater hydrology, contaminant migration in the subsurface, and groundwater modeling.

Frequently serves as project director for large Superfund and RCRA corrective action projects and provides technical guidance to staff in areas such as groundwater modeling, aquifer/aquitard testing, DNAPL behavior and cleanup.  Frequent public speaker in training programs, conferences, and public meetings.  Often provides expert testimony in hydrogeology, environmental forensics, natural resource damages, remedial engineering, and the history of waste disposal practice in the U.S.
