Acknowledgments
The information in this paper was pro- duced as a result of geological oversight performed by the author, Carlos Velases and Laura Whitaker (both formerly of the NYSDEC), and Daniel C. Walsh, Ph.D. (Director, Office of Environmental Remediation, New York City). The fig- ures were drafted by Paul Varano. The author greatly appreciates the editing by Robert A. Stewart, Ph.D., CPG, John L. Berry, CPG, and Edward Baltzer, CPG, which strengthened and improved the paper. The author also thanks Peter Sugarman, Ph.D. and Scott Stanford, Ph.D. for reviewing the manuscript and providing important suggestions in interpretating the Upper Cretaceous stratigraphy.
Raphael Ketani earned a B.S. degree in Geology from the State University College at Fredonia, New York in 1976, and continued his geologic studies in graduate school at Eastern Kentucky University where he earned an M.S. degree in 1980. Mr. Ketani worked as a consulting oil and gas exploration geolo- gist, monitoring drilling proects in the northern Rocky Mountain region and the Texas panhandle before moving back to New York City where he was hired by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. He presently supervises the cleanup of petroleum spill sites throughout the City. Mr. Ketani has 36 years of professional experience and is a Certified Professional Geologist through AIPG. Mr. Ketani also is a member of GSA, AAPG, NGWA, and the Society for Sedimentary Geology.
