USGS and MinGeo Researchers in the San Pedro River valley in Southern Arizona, during a field visit to remote well sites.
Kristina Kirkyla Masterson, P.E.
Kris Masterson is Supervisory Hydrologist for the Water Resources Integrated Modeling and Analysis Section in the New York Water Science Center.
Having started her career in the USGS Syosset (Long Island), NY office, Kris rejoins the New York Water Science Center after 32 years in engineering consulting where, as a Professional Engineer, she specialized in numerical groundwater flow model applications for regional water-resources and hydrology assessments, groundwater pollutant migration and saltwater intrusion studies, and remediation and facilities planning investigations. She is particularly interested in applying mathematical models to more rigorously explore hydraulic connections between coastal and inland surface water and groundwater systems. Kris is currently serving as the project coordinator for the Long Island Sound Compound Flood Risk Study and a companion study of compound flood drivers supported by Hurricane Ida supplemental FEMA flooding.
Science and Products
Regional Assessment of Compound Flood Hazard from the Combined Effects of Coastal, Stormwater and Groundwater Emergence Flooding
Compound flooding is flooding that results from a co-occurrence of multiple flood drivers. In this project we consider precipitation (pluvial flooding, overland flow of stormwater), coastal storm surge and tidal flooding (coastal flooding), and flooding that occurs as a shallow water table intersects the land surface or critical infrastructure (groundwater emergence flooding). These flooding...
