Lonnie R. Lanham

I primarily work for the USGS MD-DE-DC Water Science Center, creating and managing digital content. I'm very much into geography, cartography, computers and gadgetry. So, it only makes sense that I work for the USGS! 

I've worked for the MD-DE-DC Water Science Center since 1998. My career with the USGS has mainly focused on science support, from Publications to Information Technology to Web Development and Site Management.
