Grant Ferguson, Ph.D., has been selected as the 2025 Darcy Distinguished Lecturer by NGWA and Groundwater Foundation. Ferguson is currently the centennial enhancement chair, professor at University of Saskatchewan, and adjunct Professor at the University of Arizona. 
Ferguson, who specializes in deep groundwater systems and connections to energy resources, will be presenting two lectures throughout the year: “Deep Groundwater and Deep Time” and “Living Fossils: Ancient Groundwaters in the Anthropocene.”
“I’m really looking forward to catching up with old friends, meeting some new ones, and discussing new ideas during the 2025 Darcy Lecture tour,” Ferguson said. “There are many big and unresolved questions in groundwater research and working together will be key to making progress on these challenges.”
The Darcy Distinguished Lecture is named for Henry Darcy of France for his 1856 investigations that established the physical principle upon which modern groundwater hydrogeology is based. Additional financing for the award is provided by the environmental consulting firms S.S. Papadopulos & Associates Inc. and Woodard & Curran Inc.
