Hannah Richardson

Hannah Richardson is a hydrologist with the USGS Idaho Water Science Center in Boise.

Hannah’s research focuses on field-based and modelled studies related to groundwater and surface water in Idaho.  She often combines various types of data, from remotely sensed climate data to handwritten records. She also has experience measuring physical and biogeochemical trends in headwater systems.

Geochemistry of Water Sources from Glacial Watersheds in Southcentral Alaska, 2019-2024 Geochemistry of Water Sources from Glacial Watersheds in Southcentral Alaska, 2019-2024

Glacial and proglacial landscapes provide critical sources of water and solutes to downstream riverine and marine ecosystems. This dataset contains samples from the dominant landscape types in the Nellie Juan River basin, collected from surface streams, groundwater, rain, and snow. Water samples were also collected from streams near the Exit, Gulkana, and Kennicott Glaciers. Snow samples...
