Matthew K Landon
Matthew Landon has been a Hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey since 1990.
He received a M.S. in Geology from the University of Minnesota in 1993 and a B.S. in Geology from the University of Kansas in 1987. He has conducted studies of groundwater hydrology and geochemistry in Minnesota, Nebraska, California, and Southeast Asia. He has been with the USGS California Water Science Center in San Diego since 2005, serving as Program Chief for the Groundwater and Geochemistry Projects Group from 2012-2016 and the California Oil, Gas, and Groundwater Projects Group since 2016.

Effects of farming systems on ground-water quality at the management systems evaluation area near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991-95 Effects of farming systems on ground-water quality at the management systems evaluation area near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991-95
Ground-water quality in an unconfined sand and gravel aquifer was monitored during 1991-95 at the Minnesota Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) near Princeton, Minnesota. The objectives of the study were to: (1) describe the effects of three farming systems on groundwater quality, and (2) evaluate the factors affecting ground-water quality and transport of agricultural chemicals at...

Water-quality and hydrogeologic data used to evaluate the effects of farming systems on ground-water quality at the Management Systems Evaluation Area near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991-95 Water-quality and hydrogeologic data used to evaluate the effects of farming systems on ground-water quality at the Management Systems Evaluation Area near Princeton, Minnesota, 1991-95
The Minnesota Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) project was part of a multi-scale, inter-agency initiative to evaluate the effects of agricultural management systems on water quality in the midwest corn belt. The research area was located in the Anoka Sand Plain about 5 kilometers southwest of Princeton, Minnesota. The ground-water-quality monitoring network within and...

Multiport well design for sampling of ground water at closely spaced vertical intervals Multiport well design for sampling of ground water at closely spaced vertical intervals
Detailed vertical sampling is useful in aquifers where vertical mixing is limited and steep vertical gradients in chemical concentrations are expected. Samples can be collected at closely spaced vertical intervals from nested wells with short screened intervals. However, this approach may not be appropriate in all situations. An easy-to-construct and easy-to-install multiport sampling...

Effects of 1992 farming systems on ground-water quality at the management systems evaluation area near Princeton, Minnesota Effects of 1992 farming systems on ground-water quality at the management systems evaluation area near Princeton, Minnesota
The Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) program was a multiscale, interagency initiative to evaluate the effects of agricultural systems on water quality in the midwest corn belt. The primary objective of the Minnesota MSEA was to evaluate the effects of ridge-tillage practices in a corn and soybean farming system on ground-water quality. The 65-hectare Minnesota MSEA was located...

Ground-water quality in agricultural areas, Anoka Sand Plain Aquifer, east-central Minnesota, 1984-90 Ground-water quality in agricultural areas, Anoka Sand Plain Aquifer, east-central Minnesota, 1984-90
Ground-water quality in the Anoka Sand Plain aquifer was studied as part of the multiscale Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) study by collecting water samples from shallow wells during August through November 1990. The sampling was conducted to: (1) aid in selection of the MSEA research area; (2) facilitate comparison of results at the MSEA research area to the regional scale...
