Michelle Shouse - Associate Director for Science Operations, California Water Science Center
Michelle started working at the USGS as a student in 1997. After studying San Francisco Bay ecology for many years, she moved to the Southwest Regional Office in 2008 to coordinate science in the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary. In 2017 Michelle transitioned to the role of Program Officer to support and promote broader science issues in the region with our partners and within the region. After work, she enjoys practicing and teaching yoga, as well as spending time outdoors hiking, swimming, boating and gardening.

USGS science at work in the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta estuary
The San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta form one of the largest estuaries in the United States. The “Bay-Delta” system provides water to more than 25 million California residents and vast farmlands, as well as key habitat for birds, fish, and other wildlife. To help ensure the health of this crucial estuary, the U.S. Geological Survey, in close cooperation with partner agencies and

Near-field receiving water monitoring of a benthic community near the Palo Alto Water Quality Control Plant in south San Francisco Bay: February 1974 through December 2003
Analyses of the benthic community structure of a mudflat in South San Francisco Bay over a 29-year period show that changes in the community have occurred concurrent with reduced concentrations of metals in the sediment and in the tissues of the biosentinal clam Macoma balthica from the same area. The community has shifted from being dominated by several opportunistic species to a community where
