Biography

Dr. Carson is a statistician with many years of experience in environmental statistics, especially related to site characterization and remediation. He developed a large scale spatial multivariate Bayesian prediction program for remediation of hundreds of large properties in SW US contaminated with smelter waste. He provided statistical, software development and documentation support to a variety of USEPA research programs. For Hunters Point Shipyard, he developed an adaptive sampling/monitoring design for excavation and screening of mixed (chemical, rad, UXO) waste that saved the client (USN) $6 million. He developed methods for simultaneous multi-analyte comparison to background and successfully negotiated with Ohio EPA to use it for RCRA site closure.
