Jennifer Given Savoie
Jennifer Given Savoie is a Hydrologist in the New England Water Science Center.
Jennifer Given Savoie has participated in a wide variety of ground and surface-water quality studies throughout the course of her career. Much of her early career was spent working with the USGS Toxics Substances Hydrology Program on Cape Cod looking at water quality near a sewage-contaminated groundwater plume. More recent studies include changes in phosphorus in the Assabet River following the upgrade of several wastewater treatment plants and analysis of trends in surface water quality in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. She is currently working on a project looking at aluminum and organic carbon in surface-water bodies near drinking water and wastewater treatment plants in Massachusetts.
Jennifer has also participated in groundwater flow modeling projects and the use of alternative techniques to detect organic compounds in the environment and determine source of contaminants, the use of varying methods to determine age dates of ground water, and geophysical methods such as conductance and gamma logging to determine lithology and saltwater/freshwater interface and cross-hole radar scanning for detection of permeable reactive barriers.

Potential for advection of volatile organic compounds in ground water to the Cochato River, Baird & McGuire Superfund Site, Holbrook, Massachusetts, March and April 1998 Potential for advection of volatile organic compounds in ground water to the Cochato River, Baird & McGuire Superfund Site, Holbrook, Massachusetts, March and April 1998
In March and April 1998, a network of water-to-vapor diffusion samplers was installed along the Cochato River at the Baird & McGuire Superfund Site in Holbrook, Massachusetts, where a plume of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is present in ground water. The purpose of installing the sampler network was to determine if VOCs were present in river-bottom sediments while a ground-water...

Use of particle tracking to improve numerical model calibration and to analyze ground-water flow and contaminant migration, Massachusetts Military Reservation, western Cape Cod, Massachusetts Use of particle tracking to improve numerical model calibration and to analyze ground-water flow and contaminant migration, Massachusetts Military Reservation, western Cape Cod, Massachusetts
A steady-state, three-dimensional flow model coupled with a particle-tracking algorithm was developed to assess the complex interaction of hydrogeologic conditions affecting ground-water flow and contaminant transport--including aquifer heterogeneities, hydrologic boundaries such as ponds and streams, ground-water withdrawals, and aquifer recharge to characterize the migration of...

Hydrogeologic framework of western Cape Cod, Massachusetts Hydrogeologic framework of western Cape Cod, Massachusetts
The aquifer of western Cape Cod consists of several hydrogeologic units composed of sand, gravel, silt, and clay (fig. 1) that were deposited during the late Wisconsinan glaciation of New England. The aquifer is a shallow, unconfined hydrologic system in which ground-water flows radially outward from the apex of the ground-water mound near the center of the peninsula toward the coast...

A steady-state, three-dimensional numerical model coupled with a particle-tracking algorithm was developed to simulate the complex hydrogeologic conditions affecting ground-water flow and contaminant migration in the Cape Cod aquifer beneath the Massachusetts Military Reservation, Massachusetts. The known extents of the contaminant plumes beneath the reservation were incorporated into a...

Geochemical and hydrologic controls on phosphorus transport in a sewage-contaminated sand and gravel aquifer near Ashumet Pond, Cape Cod, Massachusetts Geochemical and hydrologic controls on phosphorus transport in a sewage-contaminated sand and gravel aquifer near Ashumet Pond, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Currently (1993), about 170 kg/yr of phosphorus discharges into Ashumet Pond on Cape Cod from a plume of sewage-contaminated ground water. Phosphorus in the plume is mobile in two distinct geochemical environments--an anoxic zone containing dissolved iron and a suboxic zone containing dissolved oxygen. Phosphorus mobility in the suboxic zone is due to saturation of available sorption...
