Marian M Domanski
Marian is a Hydrologist with the USGS, Central Midwest Water Science Center in Urbana, Illinois.
The development of the Surrogate Analysis and Index Developer (SAID) tool has spanned a good portion of Marian's time at the USGS. Besides developing it, he has given classes on its use, provided support for numerous USGS personnel around the country, and wrote an OFR that serves as the SAID manual. He also developed other small scale scientific software utilities and one-time-use scripts to support investigative projects. Additionally, Marian has been involved with the development of the single-frequency sediment acoustic policy, and is a coauthor on the recently published T&M 3-C5, which covers the use of sediment acoustic methods. Other recent project involvement includes supporting the 1D unsteady hydraulic model FEQ and the development of a HEC-ResSim reservoir model that facilitates communication of flow forecasts between the NWS and IDNR, the operators of the reservoir. Some of his current project involvement include rewriting and modifying SAID to incorporate a multi-frequency sediment acoustic method, performing a sensitivity analysis of lateral inflow attenuation parameters for the hydraulic model FEQ, and updating the documentation for FEQ and FEQUTL.

Large-scale dam removal on the Elwha River, Washington, USA: fluvial sediment load
The Elwha River restoration project, in Washington State, includes the largest dam-removal project in United States history to date. Starting September 2011, two nearly century-old dams that collectively contained 21 ± 3 million m3 of sediment were removed over the course of three years with a top-down deconstruction strategy designed to meter the release of a portion of the dam-trapped sediment.AuthorsChristopher S.

ForemanComparison of fluvial suspended-sediment concentrations and particle-size distributions measured with in-stream laser diffraction and in physical samples
Laser-diffraction technology, recently adapted for in-stream measurement of fluvial suspended-sediment concentrations (SSCs) and particle-size distributions (PSDs), was tested with a streamlined (SL), isokinetic version of the Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometry (LISST) for measuring volumetric SSCs and PSDs ranging from 1.8-415 µm in 32 log-spaced size classes. Measured SSCs and PSDs froAuthorsJonathan A. Czuba, Timothy D. Straub, Christopher A. Curran, Mark N. Landers, Marian M. DomanskiEvaluation of a mass-balance approach to determine consumptive water use in northeastern Illinois
A principal component of evaluating and managing water use is consumptive use. This is the portion of water withdrawn for a particular use, such as residential, which is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or crops, consumed by humans or livestock, or otherwise removed from the immediate water environment. The amount of consumptive use may be estimated by a water (mass)-balance apprAuthorsP.C. Mills, James J. Duncker, Thomas M. Over, Marian Domanski, Frank L. EngelUltimate pier and contraction scour prediction in cohesive soils at selected bridges in Illinois
The Scour Rate In COhesive Soils-Erosion Function Apparatus (SRICOS-EFA) method includes an ultimate scour prediction that is the equilibrium maximum pier and contraction scour of cohesive soils over time. The purpose of this report is to present the results of testing the ultimate pier and contraction scour methods for cohesive soils on 30 bridge sites in Illinois.
