DESCRIPTION:“Follow the Data: Storytelling and Visualizations in Environm
 ental Geology” by Kristen Hasbrock ’12\, Senior Geologist\, Tanaq Envi
 ronmental\, LLC\n\nIt is important to utilize both creative and effective 
 methods of “telling the data’s story” when designing visualizations 
 and communicating with target audiences. In the environmental consulting i
 ndustry\, stakeholder groups can be broad\, with diverse technical backgro
 unds\, project roles\, and perspectives. The objectives of displaying data
  vary depending on the audience with the overarching goal of creating effe
 ctive narratives for data-driven decision making. By communicating data in
 terpretations and conceptual understanding through storytelling\, next ste
 ps in adaptive projects can be determined\, often culminating in surprisin
 g results\, leading to performance success. This is the story of how follo
 wing the data led to unexpected field site investigative results and chara
 cterization approaches\, new research proposals and collaborations\, and g
 etting started in geology in the first place.\n\nKristen Hasbrouck is a Se
 nior Geologist for Tanaq Environmental and is the technical lead for the c
 ompany’s digital initiatives and data visualization programs. She is lic
 ensed as a Professional Geologist in the State of Texas and provides techn
 ical expertise in the areas of high-resolution adaptive site characterizat
 ion\, 3D conceptual site modeling\, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (P
 FAS) site characterization\, mass flux/mass discharge analysis\, hydrogeol
 ogy and hydraulic dynamics\, and lysimeter operations. Ms. Hasbrouck recei
 ved her B.S. in Geology from Hope College\, a Hydrogeology Graduate Certif
 icate from Western Michigan University\, and is currently pursuing a Docto
 rate of Hydrogeology at Western Michigan University\, building on current 
 and past PFAS projects with the U.S. Defense Department’s Strategic Envi
 ronmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental S
 ecurity Technology Certification Program (ESTCP). Her federal PFAS work wi
 th Tanaq allows her to travel across the country\, but she’s always exci
 ted to stay home in Traverse City\, MI and take part in sailing races on G
 rand Traverse Bay.
