Common Ground Staff Roster
Graham Fogg received a B.S. in Hydrology from the University of New Hampshire,
an M.S. in Hydrology and Water Resources from the University of Arizona, and a Ph.D. in Geology
from The University of Texas at Austin, where he also worked at the Bureau of Economic Geology
during 1978-1989. In 1989 Graham relocated to University of California, Davis. He has more than
30 yrs experience researching and teaching about subsurface water flow and pollutant transport
processes, modeling of heterogeneous subsurface systems, and groundwater analysis related to
water contamination (MTBE, perchlorate, pesticides, nitrate), ecosystem function, water resource
sustainability, and high-level nuclear waste isolation. Graham’s research interests include
transport processes in heterogeneous systems, characterization of aquifer complexity, hydrogeologic
processes affecting ecosystem function, natural attenuation of contaminants, remediation, long-term
analysis of non-point-source groundwater contamination, regional hydrogeology, and heat transport
in groundwater. He teaches courses at UC Davis in groundwater hydrology, groundwater modeling,
applied geostatistics, and water resources. He served as Chair of the Hydrologic Sciences Graduate
Group from 1993 to 1998 and 2006-present, and Chair of the Hydrology Program from 1998 to 2001.
He was the 2002 Geological Society of America Birdsall-Dreiss Distinguished Lecturer. Dr. Fogg
is a Fellow in the Geological Society of America.
