Rayne's area of interest is hydrogeology and environmental geology.  He received his doctorate in geology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and before that he worked in the petroleum and environmental consulting industries.  Rayne's current research involves using numerical models to predict the impacts of urbanization on ground water flow systems.  He also is involved with modeling ground water flow through fractured aquifers and wellhead protection studies.  He is the author of two solution manuals for hydrogeology textbooks and has published papers in Hydrogeology Journal, Nordic Hydrology, and Northeastern Geology and Environmental Science.

Topics: Groundwater and environmental problems related to the hydrologic cycle, hydrogeology, environmental geology, field geology of the Alps
