Research / Professional Focus / Current Projects
In my role as Data Chief, and supervisor of the Data Section of the MD-DE-DC Water Science Center, my interests encompass all aspects of USGS water-data collection, interpretation, and publication activities in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.
I support and maintain appropriate staff to achieve the Center's data-collection commitments, and facilitate the effective and efficient performance of data-collection work tasks that are focused and aligned with the USGS mission as well as local and regional partners' water-resource data and analysis needs.
