Jennifer Stanton
Jennifer Stanton is a Hydrologist in the New England Water Science Center.
Jennifer Stanton began her career with the USGS in 1994. She has studied a wide range of water resource topics including groundwater quality, groundwater age dating, groundwater/surface-water interactions, groundwater level changes, estimation of water budget components, and development of groundwater flow models. Other areas of interest include application of GIS to analyze groundwater data.
2017-present: Assessing effects of oil and gas development on groundwater resources for the California Oil, Gas, and Groundwater Program.
2013-2017: Project manager for the National Brackish Groundwater Assessment.
2007-2013: Developed regional water budgets and groundwater-flow models using tools such as MODFLOW, Parameter Estimation (PEST), the Groundwater Management (GWM) package, and Soil Water Balance (SWB) code.
1996-2007: Conducted regional groundwater-quality studies.
1997-2000: Authored the annual state-wide groundwater level change report.
1996-2003: Managed USGS databases. Coordinated with 34 Federal, State, and local agencies to compile groundwater levels from approximately 4,000 observation wells state-wide on a semi-annual basis.
1994-1996: Provided GIS and cartographic support.

Streamflow gain/loss in the Republican River basin, Nebraska, October 1978
This arc and point data set contains streamflow-measurement sites and reaches indicating streamflow gain or loss under base-flow conditions along the Republican River and tributaries in Nebraska during October 10 to 18, 1978 (U.S. Geological Survey, 1980). The streamflow measurements were made to obtain data on ground-water/surface-water interaction. Flow was observed visually to be zero, was measAuthorsMichaela R. Johnson, Jennifer S.
