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.
Suzanne Dudziak earned a Bachelor's degree in Geology from San Diego State University and a Master's degree in Hydrology from the University of Idaho. She is a registered geologist in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, and a licensed hydrogeologist in Washington. Suzanne spent the last 16 years of her career working for the Port of Tacoma as an Environmental Program Manager and Acting Director of Environmental Affairs. She is now President and Principal Hydrogeologist with Greylock Consulting LLC. She supports clients ranging from governmental organizations to large construction firms. She assists clients with soil, sediment, storm water, and groundwater cleanups throughout Washington State.
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.

Lina Ma is a geologist at the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) working mostly on GIS-based geologic mapping and database projects. This work includes a statewide compilation of "best available" geologic data, and more recently, the surficial geology of the Portland metropolitan area, incorporating the usage of lidar interpretation. Currently, she is serving a 3-year term on AWG's Board of Directors as one of the Regional Delegates for the Pacific Region. Prior to Lina’s employment at DOGAMI, she volunteered some time to better her professional skills as a geologist. She was also a field geologist at the Oregon Department of Transportation for a short time working on freeway- and highway- related projects across the state. Lina received a B.S. degree in Geological Sciences from the University of Oregon in Eugene.
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.
