Dr. Susan S. Hubbard is a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where she leads the Environmental Remediation and Water Resources Program and is an Associate Director of the Berkeley Water Center. She received her B.S in Geology from UC Santa Barbara; her M.S. in Geophysics from Virginia Tech; and her Ph.D. in Engineering from UC Berkeley in 1999.  She has previously worked at the U.S. Geological Survey and for the petroleum industry. Her research focuses on advancing the use of geophysical methods for shallow subsurface characterization and monitoring, with a particular emphasis on development of data integration methods and application of those methods to water resource and environmental remediation problems. She co-edited the first book on hydrogeophysics and has published over 60 papers on this topic. Dr. Hubbard serves on several scientific advisory boards (including BERAC, the Advisory Committee for DOE BER) and editorial boards (including the Vadose Zone Journal, Journal of Hydrology, and JGR-Biosciences). She is the recipient of the 2009 Frank Frischknecht award for leadership and innovation in near-surface geophysics and is the Geological Society of America Birdsall-Dreiss Distinguished lecturer for 2010.
