Daniel Ritter, PhD, PG

Daniel Ritter is a geochemist whose primary research focus was
aqueous and isotope geochemistry. Research interests included
using isotopes and geochemistry as tracers of natural and
anthropogenic contaminants in groundwater and surface water,
and the impact of interactions between water, rock, and
microbes on groundwater chemistry. He is proficient in ArcGIS
and has experience with MODFLOW and GMS.

Project Experience

Research Assistant, University of Arizona. Collected, prepared, Daniel Ritter
and analyzed water and gas samples for analysis of major ion Education
chemistry and isotopes. Contacted natural gas companies to
obtain permission to sample their wells. Planned and carried University of Arizona
out sampling trips to collect samples from both natural gas PhD, Hydrology and Water
producing wells and monitoring wells. Resources
