Greg Koltun
Greg is an Emeritus Hydrologist and surface-water specialist for the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center.
He received a B.S. in microbiology and an M.S. in civil engineering from the Ohio State University and has worked on a wide array of research, including topics in hydrology, hydraulics, water quality, water use, modeling, and applied statistics. Greg teaches a USGS national training course on sediment and chemical loading computation methods and was an adjunct professor at the Ohio State University where he taught applied hydrology.

Floods of June 28-29, 1998 in Ohio Floods of June 28-29, 1998 in Ohio
During a 96-hour period extending from June 26 to June 30, 1998, a stalled frontal system produced a series of storms that dumped 10 inches or more of rain on parts of Ohio. The storms occurred at the end of a relatively wet month, resulting in flooding and widespread damage throughout much of central, east-central, and southeastern Ohio. Twenty-three Ohio counties were declared Federal...

Factors related to probability of joint flooding on paired streams in Ohio Factors related to probability of joint flooding on paired streams in Ohio
Factors related to the probability of joint flooding on paired streams were investigated. Stream pairs were considered to have flooded jointly at the design-year flood threshold (corresponding to the 2-, 10-, 25-, or 50-year instantaneous peak stream flow) if peak stream flows at both streams in the pair were observed or predicted to have equaled or exceeded the threshold on a given...

Effects of hydrologic, biological, and environmental processes on sources and concentrations of fecal bacteria in the Cuyahoga River, with implications for management of recreational waters in Summit and Cuyahoga Counties, Ohio Effects of hydrologic, biological, and environmental processes on sources and concentrations of fecal bacteria in the Cuyahoga River, with implications for management of recreational waters in Summit and Cuyahoga Counties, Ohio
Discharges of fecal bacteria (fecal coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli ) to the middle main stem of the Cuyahoga River from storm water, combined sewers, and incompletely disinfected wastewater have resulted in frequent exceedances of bacteriological water-quality standards in a 23-mile reach of the river that flows through the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area. Contamination...

Factors related to the joint probability of flooding on paired streams Factors related to the joint probability of flooding on paired streams
The factors related to the joint probabilty of flooding on paired streams were investigated and quantified to provide information to aid in the design of hydraulic structures where the joint probabilty of flooding is an element of the design criteria. Stream pairs were considered to have flooded jointly at the design-year flood threshold (corresponding to the 2-, 10-, 25-, or 50-year...

Hydrologic disturbance and response of aquatic biota in Big Darby Creek basin, Ohio Hydrologic disturbance and response of aquatic biota in Big Darby Creek basin, Ohio
Washout and recolonization of macroinvertebrates and algae associated with a spring and summer storm were measured at three sites in Ohio's Big Darby Creek Basin. Related factors, such as streamflow magnitude, shear stress, and streamed disturbance were considered when interpreting observed changes in densities and community structure of macroinvertebrates and algae. During the study...
