Jeffrey C Cole

Jeffrey Cole is Chief, Williamsport Hydrologic Studies Unit.

Jeffrey's current work centers on characterizing groundwater - surface water interactions using paired air and stream temperature monitoring.

Previous projects characterized the spatial distribution and habitat needs of aquatic organisms with emphasis on freshwater mussels and their host fish. He has also developed and applied two-dimensional hydrodynamic flow models and temperature models to better understand what drives where freshwater mussels thrive.

Host fishes for the endangered dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) from various locations in the northeastern United States (1999-2007) Host fishes for the endangered dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) from various locations in the northeastern United States (1999-2007)

Data is included for three sets of laboratory experiments where various fish species were tested in several multi-week trials to determine their suitability in serving as parasitic hosts for larvae of the freshwater mussel named dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) from the Mid-Atlantic region and New England of the United States. The first set of experiments tested host suitability...
