About Aaron Page

I graduated from University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 2013 with my B.S. in Geology, minoring in Mathematics and in Anthropology, minoring in Archaeology. I am prior US Navy Corpsman, where I earned my A.S. for Health Science Laboratory technology in 2009. I have over 13 years working in government and 3 years in the private sector. I have over 12 years of experience working in the science field. This includes over 11 years of environmental, over 10 years of geology, and over 4 years of laboratory. I also have over 5 years of experience in archaeology and almost 5 years of experience as a Park Ranger. I have held as many as 3 positions at one time working a variety of schedules to gain the experience I have today. My environmental geology experience has been focused has been in water, soils, and air gas monitoring for compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations. My water compliance work utilized my skills in hydrology for surface and subsurface investigations, ground and surface water monitoring and sampling, and groundwater gradient flow and direction charting. My air quality work has been focused in monitoring landfills for methane gas readings and lab sampling in both wells and in the open around the landfill and monitoring dust generated in landfill and construction settings for compliance. I have also worked managing several projects at a time reviewing submitted data for compliance and educating companies on state and federal environmental regulation pertaining to the company’s products. I am also experienced in well drilling logging, statistical programs, ArcGIS, LiDAR, trenching, soil descriptions, and test pits. My archaeology experience has been focused in Phase I/II surveying to include researching, documenting, completing cultural resource forms, reporting, and artifact cataloging. Documenting included field sketches, site and soil descriptions, photos, GPS data, and mapping for all reports. I also have experience in construction monitoring of all dig sites, keeping an open communication of the work plan, and documenting and reporting of daily activities. My tasks as a Park Ranger included interpretation, research, field work, and enforcement. My interpretative programs covered a basic history of the geology and archaeology of Lake Berryessa and Napa Valley in Napa, CA. I established a new life jacket loaner program and first aid program. I also participated in quagga and zebra mussel testing and inspections, eagle surveys, trail restoration, conservation work, and educational programs for all ages.
