Kellan R. Strauch
Kellan Strauch is a Hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey Central Plains Water Science Center, based in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Kellan began working with the USGS Central Plains Water Science Center as student in December of 2002, he became a full-time employee after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering in December of 2006 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Kellan has worked on several projects during his career with the USGS including hydrologic, hydraulic, and sediment transport analysis and modeling, flood inundation mapping, flood-frequency and streamflow trends analysis, bathymetric and topographic surveys, indirect measurement of streamflow discharge, post-flood high water mark documentation, potentiometric-surface aquifer mapping, and green infrastructure water balance monitoring.
