Haylie Brown
Haylie is a hydrologist at the Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center based out of Helena, Montana.
Haylie began her career with the USGS in 2022 as a hydrologic technician, and later transitioned into the role of a hydrologist. Her current work focuses on flood frequency analysis, and various sediment projects, including sediment transport and sediment fingerprinting. Her main research interest is fluvial geomorphology.

Characterizing Hydrologic and Geomorphic Processes in a Spring-Fed, Cold-Desert Headwater Stream
The role of natural versus human-influenced factors in sedimentation of Littlefield Creek, a small, high-desert creek in south-central Wyoming is currently unknown. In general, there is little empirical information about both hydrologic and geomorphic processes (together described as hydrogeomorphic) in these types of streams. To develop a better understanding of hydrogeomorphic processes, their...
Peak-Flow Frequency Analysis for Selected Montana Streamgages
Peak-flow frequency information is needed for flood-plain mapping, design of highway infrastructure, and many other purposes across Montana. The USGS Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center has an ongoing project working to update peak-flow frequency estimates at USGS streamgages across the state.
