Biography
John Masterson is a senior hydrologist at the USGS New England Water Science Center in Massachusetts. He completed his B.A. in Geosciences at SUNY Geneseo and M.S. in Geosciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia. John began his career at the USGS Syosset, N.Y. office in 1987 and worked there for 3 years before transferring to the Northborough, Massachusetts office in 1990. He specializes in computer model applications to study groundwater flow dynamics, and is an author of numerous USGS technical reports and peer-reviewed articles on groundwater resources in coastal aquifer systems. Recently, John completed a regional groundwater availability assessment of the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system from Long Island to North Carolina. John is currently serving as the project coordinator for the ongoing NYSDEC-USGS cooperative investigation of groundwater sustainability of the Long Island regional aquifer system (Long Island Groundwater Sustainability Study).

Effects of simulated ground-water pumping and recharge on ground-water flow in Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket Island basins, Massachusetts
Three-dimensional transient ground-water-flow models that simulate both freshwater and saltwater flow were developed for the flow cells of the Cape Cod Basin to determine the effects of long-term pumping and recharge, seasonal fluctuations in pumping and recharge, and prolonged reductions of natural recharge, on the position of the freshwater-...

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...

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...

Hydrogeology and analysis of ground-water-flow system, Sagamore Marsh area, southeastern Massachusetts
A study of the hydrogeology and an analysis of the ground-water-flow system near Sagamore Marsh, southeastern Massachusetts, was undertaken to improve the understanding of the current (1994 95) hydrogeologic conditions near the marsh and how the ground-water system might respond to proposed changes in the tidal-stage regime of streams that flood...
