Denis LeBlanc is a Scientist Emeritus with the New England Water Science Center.
Denis presently coordinates a multidisciplinary research effort at the USGS Cape Cod Toxic Substances Hydrology Research site at the Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC) near Falmouth, Mass. He also provides technical support to Air Force and Army National Guard environmental restoration programs at JBCC and participates in several projects with the U.S Environmental Protection Agency on nitrogen and other wastewater contaminants in Cape Cod's groundwater.
Denis received his B.S. in Hydrology from the University of New Hampshire and his M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a member of the National Ground Water Association and the Geological Society of America, where he is a GSA Fellow. He has focused on Cape Cod's freshwater resources since joining the USGS in 1975.
