Matthew Pajerowski is a Supervisory Hydrologist in the Studies Section of the Maryland-Delaware-District of Columbia Water Science Center.
In his current role, he serves as the Supervisory Hydrologist in the Studies Section, providing programmatic and technical direction to the Section, and overseeing the activities of a diverse group of scientists and technicians carrying out investigations of groundwater quality and movement, contaminant hydrology, fate and bioremediation of contaminants, and water use. Past study interests have included water availability and water supply, drought monitoring, and the impacts of sea level rise on shallow groundwater. He serves as the Vice-Chair of the Board of the Maryland Water Monitoring Council. From his previous experience in water-resource planning, regulation, and management, Mat maintains an interest in how science can support and inform sound resource policy decisions at all levels of government.

North Atlantic-Appalachian AI/ML Capabilities
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) includes a broad suite of flexible data-driven empirical approaches to perform tasks that are difficult to implement using conventional methods. AI and ML harness the power of computing resources to evaluate the underlying patterns and relationships within a dataset without explicit instructions. The North Atlantic-Appalachian AI/ML Capability...Anacostia Water Quality Monitoring Project
The broad goal of the study is to significantly expand data collection at the Northeast Branch Anacostia and Northwest Branch Anacostia to include water-quality sampling and analysis for a wide suite of natural and anthropogenic constituents (nutrients, sediment, metals, bacteria, and organics such as PCBs and PAHs). MD-DE-DC WSC Project #LF00BK4Anacostia Water Quality Monitoring Project
The broad goal of the study is to significantly expand data collection at the Northeast Branch Anacostia and Northwest Branch Anacostia to include water-quality sampling and analysis for a wide suite of natural and anthropogenic constituents (nutrients, sediment, metals, bacteria, and organics such as PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) and PAH (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).MD-DE-DC WSC Water Use & Water Supply Capabilities
The MD-DE-DC WSC works with state and local agencies to collect, estimate, review, and compile water use information. Data are used in USGS groundwater and watershed models, and other USGS studies. The data are also compiled and incorporated into the USGS national estimates of water-use. WSC staff currently participate in various national water use projects focused on improving water use estimates...MD-DE-DC WSC Seminar Series

MD-DE-DC Groundwater Capabilities
Our region's water supply comes from streams and rivers, groundwater, and reservoirs. Areas not served by public-water supply rely on groundwater withdrawn from fractured rock aquifers in western Maryland, or surficial (water table) and confined aquifers in southern Maryland, Delaware, Washington, D.C., and the Eastern Shore. Groundwater research works to improve our understanding of groundwater...MD-DE-DC WSC Groundwater Studies Team
The U.S. Geological Survey provides unbiased, timely, and relevant information, studies, and data about groundwater resources of the Nation. The USGS monitors groundwater levels in thousands of wells across the U.S. Hundreds of these wells are located in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. The MD-DE-DC Water Science Center logs data on approximately 370 groundwater wells throughout... - News
