Professor Woessner is the Past Acting Director of the Center for Riverine Science and Stream Re\u2011naturalization, and President of Woessner Hydrologic, LLC. He has mentored over 60 graduate students, many of whom have founded environmental consulting firms; worked for environmental non\u2011profits; local, state, and federal agencies, and corporations.

Cam has over 30 years of consulting experience in hydrogeology; aquifer characterization; aquifer testing; water rights; public water supply development; remedial investigation; landfill permitting; mine permitting and remediation; corrective measure implementation; Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA); NEPA analysis; remedial investigation; and municipal water supply exploration, installation, and permitting. He has worked on projects across the USA and internationally on sites impacted by halogenated organic solvents, petroleum hydrocarbon fuels, radioactive elements, metals, and inorganic ions. Cam specializes in conceptual model development, 3\u2011D groundwater modeling, groundwater\u2011surface water interaction, multi\u2011phase fluid flow, contaminant fate and transport theory, and natural attenuation of organic contaminants. He has developed numerical regional and local scale models for water rights applications, mines, electrical generation facilities, superfund sites, petroleum release sites, uranium mill sites. Cam has extensive experience in the mining industry, providing services ranging from permitting new mines, developing water management and closure plans at active mines, and remediating legacy mines.
