Matthew Uychutin - Hydrologist - California Water Science Center
USGS Hydrologist Matthew Uychutin completed his BS in Geology from California State University Sacramento in 2018. Matthew has been with the USGS California Water Science Center (CAWSC) since 2019. As a hydrologic technician at the USGS Matthew collects and processes samples of various matrices for analyses at the USGS Organic Chemistry Research Laboratory in Sacramento, California. Matthew leads field outings in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to collect surface water samples. Most of his work focuses on the presence of current-use pesticides in surface waters.

Organic Chemistry Research Core Technology Team
About the Research The Organic Chemistry Research Laboratory Core Technology Team (CTT) as part of the Environmental Health Program focuses on the identification and quantitation of trace level organic contaminants (with a special focus on pesticides) in a wide array of environmental media (water, sediment/soil, plants, biota, etc.).
Pesticide Fate Research Group (PFRG)
Pesticides are used in both agricultural and urban settings to manage unwanted plants, insects, fungi, and other pests. However, these substances and their breakdown products can move beyond their intended application sites through various means, ending up in areas where they weren't meant to be. This movement can happen via the air, through water (both surface and groundwater), and by sticking to...
