Nathan Earl Robison is a graduate student of Mining Engineering specializing in industrial minerals and engineering geology. His academic career has been very successful, with respectable grades in a wide variety of topics (advanced mathematics, and an undergraduate minor in English for Secondary Education). He was an intern with the Southern California Earthquake Center, preparing advanced research on long-return period earthquake prediction using geologic (precarious boulders)
inference.
Nathan is a non-traditional student, as sole provider for twins
Elsa and Ethan born November of 2000, daughter Rosemary born July of 1998, and lovely wife
Paula.
He works full-time as a consulting engineer in mine and operations planning, permitting, water rights, access, and reclamation. Additional consulting experience includes civil engineering design of structures, hardscape and landscape, lot, public lands, topographic, and layout surveying, and geological/hydrological engineering and investigation.
Nathan also works part-time as a bookkeeper and accountant to several small local businesses, enjoys bicycling and organic gardening, and can walk miles and miles with little food or water.
His first exposure to mining was entering, on his father Wally Robison's shoulders, a Park City, Utah silver mine adit at the age of two. He has since lived in Amarillo, Texas and spent most of youth in Grand Junction, Colorado before moving to Reno in 1991 with the fall of Uranium mining near Grand Junction. His family traces mining roots to Pioche, Nevada in the 1880's, and he has extended family in mining and ranching in Nevada, branching from White Pine County.
He is a Nevada Engineering Intern and Land Surveying Intern, and plans to sit the California Civil PE examination early in 2002.
