SUMMARY:Geophysical Anomalies in the vicinity of Barton Spring and Determination of Groundwater Flow Path into Barton Springs Pool\, Austin\, Texas
DESCRIPTION:Mustafa Saribudak\, Ph.D.\, P.G. \n \nBIO \nMustafa Saribudak is the principal of Environmental Geophysics Associates (EGA). He holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. (1975) in geology from the University of Istanbul and a Ph.D. (1987) from the Istanbul Technical University in Turkey. He came to the University of Houston in 1990 as a visiting geoscientist. He started working for Tierra Environmental in the Woodlands between 1991 and 1993\, where he pioneered the application of geophysical methods to environmental problems. He founded EGA in 1994 to provide near-surface geophysical services for engineering\, environmental\, and oil and gas industries\, and real estate developers. Since than he has worked on more than 400 projects. \nHis personal research interests have been the active growth faulting in the Houston area\, major faults of the karstic Edwards Aquifer in central Texas (for example: Mt. Bonnell\, Barton Springs and Haby faults); location of karstic features (caves\, sinkholes\, voids) across the Edwards Aquifer; location of abandoned oil and gas wells and water wells; application of geophysical methods to volcanoes. His consultancy work resulted in over 50 published papers\, which provided valuable insights and quantitative data for the geophysical and geological fields.

SUMMARY:From Hydrology to Geopolitics: The Ethical Imperative of Science Diplomacy in Ukraine’s Agricultural Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Sachin Shah\, Hydrologist\, U.S. Geological Survey\n\n\n\nBIO \nSachin Shah is a multi-disciplinary scientist and policy expert specializing in water resources\, climate adaptation\, and global food security. He currently serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin’s LBJ School of Public Affairs and Lead of the Socio-Hydrology Team at the U.S. Geological Survey. With over 20 years of experience in hydrogeology\, public policy\, and international development\, Sachin’s career began as a hydrologist with the USGS\, where he conducted extensive groundwater research across the country\, including land subsidence in the Houston region and transboundary aquifer assessments along the Texas-Mexico border. His expertise in hydrology provides the scientific foundation for his current interdisciplinary approach to global water security and climate adaptation. \nSachin works at the intersection of water security\, socioeconomics\, and climate adaptation\, focusing on understanding the human dimensions of water security and risk in regions including the Mekong River Basin\, South Asia\, and Ukraine. In 2024\, he served as a Policy Advisor at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy\, where he developed national and international water resources strategies and led interagency task forces on water resilience. He leads international research initiatives\, including current work on climate risks and food insecurity in Ukraine\, and has established and co-led the Ukraine Climate Adaptation Technical Advisory Committee. Mr. Shah has been recognized with multiple awards for his contributions to environmental justice and water security research\, and holds an M.A. in Global Policy Studies from UT Austin’s LBJ School of Public Affairs\, an M.S. in Hydrology from Georgia State University\, and a B.S. in Hydrogeology from UT Austin’s Jackson School of Geosciences.
