Mr. Linden has over seven years of professional hydrogeologic experience developing, executing, and managing water resource, environmental, and research projects throughout the United States, North Africa, and the Pacific Islands for both private and public sectors. Water resource projects completed and contributed to by Mr. Linden include municipal water-supply wells (both vertical and low-angle slant wells), monitoring wells, industrial water-supply and treatment, agricultural irrigation-supply wells, regional groundwater monitoring network development and maintenance, and site suitability analysis for water resource development including well and spring assessments. Mr. Linden has developed, constructed, implemented, and maintained a variety of custom water monitoring systems featuring remote and local accessibility using state-of-the-art physical and chemical sensors and test equipment. These advanced monitoring system technologies have been applied by Mr. Linden to a wide breadth of project applications ranging from low-cost compact monitoring solutions to mobile test skids, including implementation of a major portion of the monitoring equipment installed as part of a large-scale municipal recharge basin infiltration study that also included monitoring technologies for several hydrospheric layers. Mr. Linden also acted as designer and developer of a unique and privately-funded scaled-model testbed for well construction in a controlled laboratory environment. Another of Mr. Linden’s fields of expertise is data processing, analysis, and presentation with an emphasis on reproducibility and accuracy.

Mr. Linden is the newest member of the growing team at RCS and has been a Groundwater Geologist with the firm since 2019. During his time with RCS, he has helped manage groundwater development projects including the design, permitting, and construction management of municipal water-supply, municipal injection, irrigation-supply, and monitoring wells. These efforts include well construction observation, testing, destruction, and rehabilitation of numerous municipal wells and irrigation-supply wells throughout California. 

Currently, Mr. Linden leads the geospatial data analysis and presentation team for Richard C. Slade & Associates (RCS). He enjoys drawing upon his extensive experience performing geospatial data analysis when working with both vector- and raster-based datasets, emphasizing reproducibility and accuracy – particularly for big data – by using scripting techniques with both the R and Python programming languages. Key vector- and raster-based geospatial data sources that Mr. Linden specializes in applying in his project-specific workflows include publicly available datasets from major city, state, and federal agencies; privately-available datasets; in-house proprietary datasets; remotely sensed datasets; multi-scale hydrologic and hydrogeologic model results; and digital elevation models, to name a few. In addition, Mr. Linden has extensive experience developing and processing groundwater and surface water model inputs and outputs including generation of water level and hydrogeologic elevation surfaces and contours from a variety of data sources. Mr. Linden also enjoys analyzing and presenting time series data including water level, chemical, and several other time-variant data sources.
