Consulting Capabilities 

During the past 20 years we have specialized in providing training and information about computer software to earth sciences companies. The training has happened as short term workshops of two to three days to intensive training courses for small groups which last several weeks. We have provided training as a team and also separately to our individual clients.

We have developed several practical books to help people in the earth sciences understand the basics of using computers to perform technical calculations and produce appropriate graphics such as maps. We have also developed books based on short course manuals prepared for various courses and projects completed. 

We both have extensive experience working in developing countries world wide.

We have experience and have provided training in the following general software packages and topics:

Stephen A. Krajewski is a geographer and geologist and is Vice President of Industrial Ergonomics Incorporated, a company providing training and consulting services to earth science professionals in petroleum, mining and environmental companies, in government agencies, and in universities. For the past ten years, his work has focused on helping end-users select, install, and use microcomputers and technical applications software for geological, geophysical, engineering and environmental applications on an international basis. Also, he is Chief Geologist at soft, Ltd. Specific experience includes the following:

- Vice President of Marketing at GEOMATH, Inc. and at GEOSIM Corporation (now Terra Mar). These companies market software for database management, graphics, mapping, geostatistics, mining engineering and mineral processing, seismic modeling, potential field modeling, petrophysical and GIS applications. While working for these companies, his responsibilities included project consulting work, training, technical support, marketing software, installing software, managing new company start-up activities, writing user's manuals and advertising materials, and exhibiting at conferences and shows. Software was installed on microcomputers, workstations and mainframe computers.

- Conducted workshops on microcomputer applications for oil and gas, mining and environmental professionals on a national and international basis for societies (AAPG, CSPG, SME, AIPG, GSA, RMAG & HGS), and for companies offering training services (IHRDC, PPI, and RICTHERSARM).

- General Chairman of nine annual conferences on computer applications in the earth sciences (Denver GeoTech '83-92: Personal Computers in Geology Conferences sponsored by the Colorado Section of the AIPG, COGS, and 15 other Denver-area societies). Organized and chaired computer technical sessions at other conferences; and, he has presented numerous technical papers and articles on microcomputer-related topics in the earth sciences.

- Project work in geological, geophysical, hydrogeological, mining feasibility, environmental, and research studies. This work ranged from collecting, interpreting and reporting field data; to assuming program management responsibilities for private, multidiscipline acquisition evaluations. Siting studies for federally-funded synfuels projects and for basin analysis studies.

- Taught college-level courses in geology, geography, and oceanography at Washington and Jefferson College and at The Pennsylvania State University.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY. Geography (B.S./1968), Geology (M.S./1971), and Earth Science (Ed.D./1977).
