Biography
Jim Butler is a senior scientist with the Geohydrology Section of the Kansas Geological Survey at the University of Kansas. He holds a B.S. in Geology from the College of William and Mary, and a M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Hydrogeology from Stanford University. His primary research interests include high-resolution subsurface characterization, well responses to natural and anthropogenic stresses, and assessment of aquifers that support irrigated agriculture. Jim was the 2007 Darcy Distinguished Lecturer of the National Ground Water Association and the 2009 recipient of the Pioneers in Groundwater Award of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers. He has served on the editorial board of five technical journals, has taught continuing education workshops and short courses on four continents, and has held visiting researcher positions at Stanford University, Universitat Politècnica de València, the University of Tübingen, Sandia National Laboratory, and the Institute of Geology of the State Seismological Bureau.
