Meet the team at the Rhinelander, Wisconsin field office!
The USGS Upper Midwest Water Science Center (UMid) Rhinelander Field office is our Northern most field office within UMid’s Central Data section servicing Northern Wisconsin. Our office is co-located with the US Forest Service office, in Rhinelander, WI.
Our team consists of five employees, who cooperatively work to conduct field work and scientific investigations in the Northern WI.
The Rhinelander staff are Hydrologic Technicians Ryan Jirik, Jarvis Kaderlik, Brandon Nelson, and Biologists Eric Dantoin and Patrik Perner.
The Rhinelander office operates 42 real-time gages which span Northern Wisconsin. The Technician’s focus is primarily related to the collection and processing streamflow data. We also monitor several sites for continuous water quality, groundwater stage, and we routinely perform discrete water quality sampling. Biologists, manage, analyze, and advise scientific investigations throughout Umid, with a focus on Northern Wisconsin and Tribal Partners.
Our data collection supports a wide range of cooperators that include the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulated hydropower facilities, Native American tribes, US Environmental Protection Agency through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the USGS National Priority Streamgage network, US Coast Guard, US Forest Service, and county and municipal governments. The Rhinelander office strives to provide unbiased hydrologic data to our cooperators and
the public.
Most of our field work occurs in rural and some remote areas, allowing Technicians to enjoy Northern Wisconsin and all its beauty. Biologists are involved in many different disciplines, allowing them to get to know many employees from across Umid and other partners to help serve the mission of unbiased scientific data collection.
