Victor S Cortes, II

Victor is a Physical Scientist in the Flood Response and Field Innovation Unit (FRU/FIU) of the Pennsylvania Water Science. Recent work includes testing novel field instrumentation, developing a network of rapid deployment flood sensors in Pennsylvania, statistical hydrology and trend analysis within the Delaware River Basin, and topographic surveying for geomorphology projects. Before joining the FIU/FRU and the Hydrologic Investigations section, Victor was a member of the Hydrologic Networks section and maintained a field trip of streamgages with water quality.

Victor is broadly interested in spatial analysis at various scales, advanced topographic surveying techniques, flood science, non-contact and remote sensed streamflow measurement, and testing of emerging technologies in water science.
