Biography

Dr. Christian Langevin is a research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Ground Water in Reston, VA. He began his career with the USGS in 1998 after completing his M.S. and Ph.D. at the University of South Florida in Tampa and his B.S. at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His first project with the USGS involved quantifying submarine groundwater discharge to a coastal marine estuary. As part of this project, he worked to develop and publish the SEAWAT computer program. Since its first official release in 2002, Dr. Langevin and his colleagues have continued to update SEAWAT and add new capabilities, such as the ability to represent simultaneous solute and heat transport. His present research for the Office of Groundwater centers on development, testing and application of MODFLOW, SEAWAT, and other numerical modeling programs.
