David L Blodgett
Dave is a hydro informatics specialist with the USGS Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division Geo-Intelligence Branch. He is currently working as a hydro-informatics lead accross the USGS Water Mission Area and the hydroscience community.
Dave holds a B.S. in civil and environmental engineering and an M.S. in water resources engineering form the UW-Madison. Dave started his career with the USGS in 2009 with a focus on hydrology and ecology modeling data. Within the USGS, Dave is a program manager for the Data Cyberinfrastructure and Information Delivery Program and pursues a mix of hydroinformatics research and software development tasks in his project work. Outside the USGS, Dave is a technical leader in Earth Science Information Partners Information Technology and Interoperability working group and the Open Geospatial Consortium hydrology domain working group.
Science and Products
Evaluation and recommendation of practices for publication of reproducible data and software releases in the USGS
In practice, e.g., in model applications, data are rarely complete without workflow code and workflows are often treated as software that include data. This project aims to understand current practice and recommend future practices that better fit the needs of reproducible workflows and models.
Geo Data Portal
CDI helped fund development of the USGS Geo Data Portal in 2010. In 2012, CDI funded two projects to increase the functionality of the Geo Data Portal. The Resources section below contains links to the Geo Data Portal website and deliverables from the 2012 projects.

Networking the California Climate Commons with the USGS Geo Data Portal
The California Climate Commons (CCC) and USGS Geo Data Portal (GDP) teams have collaborated to curate and host California and Great Basin Characterization Model (BCM) results. The CCC has successfully set up a web-server and installed needed software to serve these model results using data and web service standards that are compatible with the GDP. All raw monthly data has been transferred to th
Establishing the Land Use Land Cover Geo Data Portal and Supporting Data Services
This project sought to incorporate land-use land-cover time series data into the Geo Data Portal web service infrastructure. Till now, the Geo Data Portal has been used for relatively low spatial resolution downscaled climate data. Data from the EPA’s Integrated Climate and Land Use Scenarios was incorporated into a web service compatible with the Geo Data Portal and is now hosted in the Geo Data
Evaluating Downscaled Climate Models for Projecting Future Changes in the Southeast
Climate change is likely to have many effects on natural ecosystems in the Southeast U.S. While there is information available to conservation managers and ecologists from the global climate models (GCMs), this information is at too coarse a resolution for use in vulnerability assessments and decision making. To better assess how climate change could affect multiple sectors, including ecosystems,
