Jason Finkelstein
Intro
Jason is a hydrologist with the USGS New York Water Science Center, Coram Program Office. Jason graduated from Dowling College in 2010 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Earth Science. During his undergraduate studies, Jason gravitated towards learning more about both hydrology and geology. He also showed interest in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), using the Arc software. A student internship / employment opportunity with the USGS confirmed his passion for learning more about these areas in science. Jason has since then graduated from Stony Brook University with a Master's Degree in Hydrogeology. He is proficient in GIS, and recently developed the skills to write HTML and CSS code. He has contributed towards a number of different projects while using these skills.

Bathymetric and Tidal Discharge data for Wilderness Breach, Fire Island National Seashore, Long Island, NY, May 14, 2015
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy created an open breach in the barrier island system along the south shore of Long Island, N.Y. This breach formed at a location known as Old Inlet and migrated rapidly westward over the winter storm season following Hurricane Sandy. In response, the National Park Service sought assistance from the USGS New York Water Science Center to help evaluate the hydrodynamics andGeospatial Dataset of Water-Table and Potentiometric-Surface Altitudes in the Upper Glacial, Magothy, and Lloyd Aquifers of Long Island, New York, April-May 2016
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is providing online maps of water-table and potentiometric-surface altitude in the upper glacial, Magothy, Jameco, Lloyd, and North Shore aquifers on Long Island, New York, April-May 2016. Also provided is a depth-to-water map for Long Island, New York, April-May 2016. The USGS makes these maps and geospatial data available as REST Open Map Services (as well as HT - Maps

Documentation of a groundwater flow model developed to assess groundwater availability in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system from Long Island, New York, to North Carolina
The U.S. Geological Survey developed a groundwater flow model for the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system from Long Island, New York, to northeastern North Carolina as part of a detailed assessment of the groundwater availability of the area and included an evaluation of how these resources have changed over time from stresses related to human uses and climate trends. The assessment wasAuthorsJohn P. Masterson, Jason P. Pope, Michael N. Fienen, Jack Monti, Jr., Mark R. Nardi, Jason S. FinkelsteinAssessment of groundwater availability in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system From Long Island, New York, to North Carolina
Executive SummaryThe U.S. Geological Survey began a multiyear regional assessment of groundwater availability in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain (NACP) aquifer system in 2010 as part of its ongoing regional assessments of groundwater availability of the principal aquifers of the Nation. The goals of this national assessment are to document effects of human activities on water levels and groundAuthorsJohn P. Masterson, Jason P. Pope, Michael N. Fienen, Jack Monti, Jr., Mark R. Nardi, Jason S. FinkelsteinAnalysis of storm-tide impacts from Hurricane Sandy in New York
The hybrid cyclone-nor’easter known as Hurricane Sandy affected the mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States during October 28-30, 2012, causing extensive coastal flooding. Prior to storm landfall, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed a temporary monitoring network from Virginia to Maine to record the storm tide and coastal flooding generated by Hurricane Sandy. This sensor network augmenAuthorsChristopher E. Schubert, Ronald Busciolano, Paul P. Hearn, Ami N. Rahav, Riley Behrens, Jason S. Finkelstein, Jack Monti, Amy E. SimonsonGeospatial compilation and digital map of centerpivot irrigated areas in the mid-Atlantic region, United States
To evaluate water availability within the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the University of Delaware Agricultural Extension, created a dataset that maps the number of acres under center-pivot irrigation in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain study area. For this study, the extent of the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain falls within areas of the StateAuthorsJason S. Finkelstein, Mark R. NardiHydrogeology and hydrologic conditions of the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer System from Long Island, New York, to North Carolina
The seaward-dipping sedimentary wedge that underlies the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain forms a complex groundwater system. This major source of water provides for public and domestic supply and serves as a vital source of freshwater for industrial and agricultural uses throughout the region. Population increases and land-use and climate changes, however, have led to competing demands for water.AuthorsJohn P. Masterson, Jason P. Pope, Jack Monti, Mark R. Nardi, Jason S.
