Background

About Derek Haskell

Hello, I am Derek Haskell and I am a young and aspiring geoscientist that is eager to learn and develop skills in the geology field. I am officially Geoscientist-in-Training certified as of May 2021. Graduate from University of Texas Permian Basin with a Master's of Science in Geology. I completed a thesis titled "Assessment of Groundwater Quality of the Ogallala Aquifer in the Southern High Plains Region of the Permian Basin, West Texas". While here I was awarded a Graduate Assistant position for 2 semesters. I worked for a hydrogeology, water well supervision, and logging company called Ralph H. Lang, Jr. and Associates for 9 months. While I was there I analyzed drill cuttings to create sample logs, constructed cross sections from well logs, assisted in the performance of pump tests and electric logging, and digitized logs. I have experience using Golden Software Strater and Surfer, Neuralog, AQTESOLV, and Microsoft Office. I also work for a construction company called R.H. & Sons Construction both part time and full time starting from 2014 to present. I am very familiar in working with a plethora of power tools and having to critically think of solutions for situations that may require unorthodox methods to complete certain tasks.
