Kirk Smith is a physical scientist for the New England Water Science Center. He received a B.S. in Environmental Management and a Minor in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from the Pennsylvania State University. Kirk holds two U.S. Government Patents for the development of an automated self-calibrating water quality monitoring sensor-housing...
Much has been learned about how effectively individual green infrastructure practices can reduce stormwater volume, however, the role of urban trees in stormwater detention is poorly understood. This study will quantify the effect of tree removal on the urban hydrologic cycle and measure the impact that trees have on stormwater runoff volume.

In the Great Lakes, large volumes of sewage never make it to wastewater treatment plants due to illicit discharges and leaking sewer infrastructure, but contamination can be difficult to detect. This study will define the utility and practicality of using optical sensors to identify the sources and timing of sewage contamination in surface water...

Shawn began working at the USGS as a student in May, 2002, collecting and interpreting groundwater and surface water quality data. Studies include contaminants of emerging concern in public supply wells, groundwater contamination in nearshore waters, assessing sediment and water for insecticide contamination in...
Dissolved Gases are important chemical tracers in groundwater systems. They provide information about groundwater age, aquifer mixing, and the climate conditions when water entered the aquifer.
Dianna Hogan is a Supervisory Physical Scientist, and has been with the U.S. Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia since 2000. Her work focuses on (1) urban land use, stormwater management, and effects on stream hydrology and chemistry; and (2) ecosystem services, including the effects of changing land use on service provision, and...
Pesticides are applied in agricultural and urban areas to control weeds, insects, and other pests. These chemicals can be transported off-site into streams and ground water where they partition between water and sediment and degrade over time. Both the parent pesticides and the degradates can potentially cause adverse effects on...
Guy leads the Sediment Science and Sensor Technology Unit at the Kansas Water Science Center. His research interest is in the application of new and legacy water quality sensors to measure, map, and understand water quality issues, with a focus on harmful algal blooms (HABs). Guys work on HAB’s has centered on measuring the spatiotemporial...
