Andy is a research hydrologist and the Tribal Relations Liaison in the Colorado Water Science Center.
Her current research combines field-based measurements, remote sensing observations, and modeling applications to investigate the impacts of changing snowpack processes and wildfire disturbances on water quality and quantity.
After over 2 decades, the USGS Water Resources Mission Area revealed a new Water Cycle Diagram during a virtual release party, Stories of the Water Cycle, held on Thursday, October 13th at 6:30 pm ET. The updated, comprehensive diagram depicts how Earth’s water is stored and moves, both naturally and because of human action. During this event, USGS scientists gave 5-minute lightning talks...

Andy Creighton, USGS Hydrologist. A photo shows USGS scientist Andy Creighton smiling at the camera. Andy is on a pair of dark skis posing in a filed of snow. Behind her, rocky mountains are dusted in snow and evergreen trees. Andy is wearing bright snow gear that includes yellow ski boots, red ski pants, a turquoise hoodie, and a yellow backpack.

Dr. Andy Creighton, USGS Hydrologist. This graphic shows a quote from Andy’s narrative. It reads: “I was the first woman to be a part of a self-sustained snowmachine expedition across the North Slope of Alaska. It was amazing to be able to break down some of those barriers that are still in place for women in science.” Yellow quotation marks bookend her quote.
