Dr. Craig Jones serves as the managing principal for Integral’s Marine, Coastal, Climate, and Technology Services. With more than two decades in the field, he specializes in engineering and scientific projects aimed at understanding challenges at offshore sites for both governmental bodies and private enterprises. His experience spans riverine, lacustrine, estuarine, and coastal processes, delving deep into hydrodynamics, wave dynamics, and sediment and contaminant transport. He is widely recognized for employing cutting-edge field measurements and modeling techniques to deeply understand aquatic systems. He plays an instrumental role in designing field operations and tools to gather information critical to client needs. Furthermore, Dr. Jones excels in assimilating this information into varying analytical frameworks, ranging from empirical to numerical models, ensuring that each project meets the highest quality standards while being efficiently managed. He has testified in federal court and in front of public utility commissions as an expert on environmental issues and regulatory concerns, including sediments and contaminants in support of allocation activities. Dr. Jones continues to work on preparation of materials for various environmental litigation cases in the United States.
