Jerrod D. Wheeler

Jerrod began his career with USGS in 2000. He is responsible for surface-water, groundwater and water-quality monitoring across western Wyoming.

Jerrod is the Field Unit Chief of the Riverton Field Office and is responsible for the collection, review and publication of high-quality hydrologic data and the use of hydroacoustics throughout western Wyoming.  Jerrod has participated in investigative studies including developing the use of near-stream wells near streamgages to help understand groundwater/surface-water interaction.  He also provided field and training support to the National Science Foundation’s McMurdo Dry Valleys long-term ecological research program in Antarctica. Prior to the USGS, Jerrod was employed by Inberg-Miller Engineers as a Staff Geologist.

Fiber‐optic distributed temperature sensing: A new tool for assessment and monitoring of hydrologic processes

Fiber‐optic distributed temperature sensing (FO DTS) is an emerging technology for characterizing and monitoring a wide range of important earth processes. FO DTS utilizes laser light to measure temperature along the entire length of standard telecommunications optical fibers. The technology can measure temperature every meter over FO cables up to 30 kilometers (km) long. Commercially available sy

Water-Quality Characteristics of Cottonwood Creek, Taggart Creek, Lake Creek, and Granite Creek, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, 2006

To address water-resource management objectives of the National Park Service in Grand Teton National Park, the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Park Service has conducted water-quality sampling on streams in the Snake River headwaters area. A synoptic study of streams in the western part of the headwaters area was conducted during 2006. Sampling sites were located on Cottonw

Seepage investigation on selected reaches of Fish Creek, Teton County, Wyoming, 2004

A seepage investigation was conducted on Fish Creek, a tributary to the Snake River in Teton County in western Wyoming, near Wilson. Mainstem, return flow, tributary, spring, and diversion sites were selected and measured on six reaches along Fish Creek. Flow was measured under two flow regimes, high flow in August 2004 and base flow in November 2004. During August 17-19, 2004, 20 sites had qua
