Jerrod D. Wheeler
Jerrod began his career with USGS in 2000. He is responsible for surface-water, groundwater and water-quality monitoring across western Wyoming.
Jerrod is the Field Office Chief of the Western Wyoming Field Office and is responsible for the collection, review and publication of hydrologic products and the use of hydroacoustics throughout Wyoming. Jerrod has partnered in investigative studies including developing the use of near-stream wells near streamgages to help understand groundwater/surface-water interaction. He also provided field and training support to the National Science Foundation’s McMurdo Dry Valleys long-term ecological research program in Antarctica. Prior to the USGS, Jerrod was employed by Inberg-Miller Engineers as a Staff Geologist.

Snake River Basin Streamflow and Water Temperature
The USGS WY-MT Water Science Center operates streamgages in the Snake River Basin in Wyoming that report streamflow in the mainstem of the Snake River and tributary streams. During the spring of 2022, in cooperation with the Teton Conservation District, thermistors were installed at six sites in the basin to record and report water temperature data. There are currently 12 sites in the basin that...
Characterization and Quantification of Salinity Loads from Blacks Fork above Smiths Fork near Lyman, Wyoming
The Blacks Fork is a stream that contributes a salinity load to the Colorado River Basin. In order to quantify the salinity load, collection of continuous streamflow and specific conductance data, and monthly sampling for total-dissolved solids will occur from April 2018 through September 2019. Calculations of monthly and annual salinity loading from the Blacks Fork were published in 2021.
Characterization of Fish Creek and Evaluation of Nutrient Inputs to Watershed
Fish Creek, an approximately 15-mile long tributary of the Snake River, is located in Teton County in western Wyoming near the town of Wilson. Local residents began observing an increase in the growth of algae and aquatic plants in Fish Creek in about 2000.
