Science and Products
The USGS Monitoring Network and the Continuous Collection of Water Quality Data in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Water quality in Northern California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) is essential to clean drinking water, agricultural activities, and the health of the aquatic food web. Management of this important water resource requires the strategic collection of relevant and timely data. A primary component of this data collection is measuring and monitoring water quality.
Biogeochemistry Group
The Biogeochemistry (BGC) Group uses an interdisciplinary approach to address surface water quality issues and food web dynamics throughout California, particularly in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and San Francisco Bay.
Creating a Model to Predict Future Carbon Levels in Tidally-driven Marshes
Tidal marshes are important ecosystems in the San Francisco-Bay Delta. They remove carbon from the atmosphere, they build up soils that buffer our communities from sea level rise, they provide critical habitat and food resources for a diversity of species, and they reduce excessive nutrients which have a negative impact on water quality. As a result of land-use change and urbanization, the San...
