Briana Greer
Principal Geochemist
Ms. Greer specializes in mining- and metal-related water quality issues. Her early work consisted of water quality and geochemical modeling in support of permitting, litigation, remediation, and treatment cost estimates. Her technical experience includes working with a wide variety of geochemical- and industry-related software, including PHREEQC, Geochemist’s Workbench, Vulcan, LeapFrog, and GoldSim, as well as Access, SQL, and PostGres databases. She has directed the development (with the help of programmers and data scientists) of several in-house pit lake and waste rock water quality modeling routines. A natural broadening of roles from technical to general has provided the opportunity to work with watershed groups, speak in front of regulatory bodies, participate in water quality rulemaking, comment on the federal register, and interact with land agencies on policy development. Ms. Greer applies her technical expertise to facilitate sound environmental design basis, leverage natural processes for liability reduction, and resolve environmental conflict.
