Officer Bios
President
Marcia Knadle has been a hydrogeologist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for over 25 years, working mainly on hazardous waste site groundwater cleanups. A Seattle-area native, she received her BS in Geology at the University of Puget Sound and her MS in Geology at the University of Montana (Missoula). She is a licensed geologist and hydrogeologist in Washington State. At one point or another in the chapter's history, Marcia has served in every officer position except treasurer, and has served as president twice in the past. She also served several years on the AWG Board of Directors and has organized several AWG field trips over the years, including trips to Scotland, Scandinavia, and Mexico. She was chair of the 2003 AWG Convention held in Seattle.
Shari Maria Silverman, a geoarchaeologist, works for Historical Research Associates, Inc. in Seattle. She holds an M.S. in geological engineering and an M.A. in anthropology from the University of Idaho, and a B.S. in anthropology from the University of Oregon. Although she currently manages projects, studies landscapes in relation to cultural use, and runs a blog about geology and culture (Apres Rain Arroyo), she has also evaluated road cuts for rock fall hazards. In addition to AWG, she is a member of the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, and the Society for American Archaeology.
Theresa Burton earned her Bachelor's degree in Geology from Central Washington University. Although she is currently not employed in her chosen field, she maintains an active interest in geology by being a member of AWG and joining in on the field trips. She is also actively involved in Women of Wind Energy (WoWE) and is working towards a field trip with the widely scattered members in Eastern Washington and Oregon. Theresa is an avid amateur astronomer and is looking forward to assisting in the formation of a local astronomy club.
Heather Vick is a registered geologist in Florida and Pennsylvania, as well as a licensed geologist and hydrogeologist in Washington. She has over 25 years of experience working in the environmental industry as a geologist and senior hydrogeologist with Environmental Science and Engineering, Inc. in Florida, Metcalf and Eddy, Inc. in Boston, and Tetra Tech EM Inc., and AMEC Earth and Environmental, Inc. in Seattle. She has conducted numerous site characterizations and groundwater investigation studies at contaminated sites, as well as work involving groundwater as a drinking water source. She has also taught geology courses at local community colleges. Heather currently works with the Voluntary Cleanup Program for the Washington State Department of Ecology in Bellevue.
Pat is an Engineering Geologist with 20 years of experience, licensed in both Washington (L.E.G.) and Oregon (G.I.T.). Her experience includes geotechnical and environmental projects throughout the Northwest and Western Canada. She has worked on projects for local, state, and federal governments, developers, and other industrial clients. Currently she is a Senior Geologist with AMEC Earth & Environmental, working on various projects for American and Canadian companies, government agencies, and private clients. Her geotechnical experience includes all types of pile-support systems, soil reinforcements, and slope stabilization technologies. Environmental projects that she has worked on include Phase I and II Site Assessments, Federal RI/FS projects, and remedial site construction.
Jenny Saltonstall earned a Bachelor's degree in Geosciences from Pacific Lutheran University, and is a licensed hydrogeologist in Washington State. She has worked in geologic/hydrogeologic consulting with Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. in Kirkland, WA since 1998, and specializes in Puget Lowland geology, geologic mapping of complex glacial/interglacial stratigraphy, ground water and geologic hazards assessments for land-use development projects ranging from small plats, gravel mines, public facilities, to large Master Planned Developments, both in the initial permitting stages, and then through design and build-out. She is also a member of Northwest Geological Society, Association of Engineering and Environmental Geologists, Washington Hydrologic Society, and the American Water Resources Association.
Keith Olson graduated with a degree in computer engineering from the Oregon Institute of Technology in 1992 and worked about 12 years in Portland as a software engineer and eventually a web programmer. Eventually he thought it would be fun to go outside for a change, and so decided to go back to school and get a degree in geology. Currently, he is a graduate student at Portland State University working with Scott Burns on the debris flows that occurred on Mt. St. Helens caused by the November 2006 Pineapple Express event that hit the northwest. In the future he hopes to be gainfully employed working on landslides and/or debris flows as a environmental or engineering geologist.
