Roger J. Henning earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in Geology (with a hydrogeology specialty) in 1978. Dr. Henning is currently a Senior Principal Scientist with over 28 years of experience in the areas of hydrogeology, ground water monitoring, water quality and regulatory interactions. His expertise, gained through 40+ years of practical work experience and military as well as his academic pursuits give him the broad ability to technically review and evaluate scientific, engineering and construction projects.
He has worked on the Yucca Mountain Project for over 12 years, and has been assigned to numerous scientific and engineering positions. Prior to that for 10 years, he directed waste related investigations which included site characterization, source definition and delineation, plume location, risk assessment, remediation design, and clean-up. Major contaminants were halocarbons (such as TCE), PCBs, coal tars, hydrocarbons (such as benzene), and metals. He has directed projects involving two phase recovery, vapor control, and leak detection and testing.
Early in his career, he worked on surface coal mine projects specializing in hydrology aspects of land reclamation, permitting, and environmental compliance. He traveled widely when he served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam in 1969 and on the East / West German border in 1970 before returning to college.
