World Bank

I work with the Futures Group (Drs. C. Wnuk and O. Marienko) through USGS CRADA to identify relevant World Bank projects for which the USGS has scientific capabilities and interest in pursuing multi-disciplinary international projects. I am presently involved (discussions, meetings, proposal writing) in the development of several new projects.
