Biographical History
C. V. Theis was a research hydrologist in the Albuquerque, N.M. He worked for the Office of the United States Geological Survey from 1936 until the mid-1980s.
Dr. C. V. Theis was a Research Hydrologist in the Albuquerque, N.M. office of the United States Geological Survey from 1936 until the mid-1980's. He officially retired from the USGS in 1970 because at the time, compulsory retirement from government service was mandatory at age 70. However, Theis continued to work, and to come to the office regularly, either as a "rehired annuitant" or as an unpaid volunteer, until the mid- 1980's, when he began to spend less and less time in the office.
Theis graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1922 with a degree in Civil Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in Geology from the same university in 1929.
Theis spent one year with the U.S. Corps of Engineers and joined the Ground Water Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1930. In 1931 he was assigned to study irrigation water availability on the High Plains in eastern New Mexico. He was assigned District Geologist of the Ground Water Branch in Albuquerque in 1936. From 1951 to 1957, he was Coordinator of all activities of the Water Resources Division's cooperative program with the Atomic Energy Commission. After 1957, he continued to do research on ground disposal of radioactive wastes. His assignment as Staff Scientist, which began in 1968, gave him free reign to pursue whatever research interests he felt would contribute best to the mission of the Water Resources Division.
During his professional career Theis wrote articles, papers and reports totaling about 130 publications.
