This photo of Mt. Katahdin was taken from Abol Bridge, a popular spot to view Maine's highest peak. The USGS monitors groundwater and surface water in the area.
Nicholas Stasulis
Nicholas Stasulis is a Supervisory Physical Scientist in the New England Water Science Center.
Nick is experienced in collection and publication of hydrologic data; the use of acoustics for measurement of streamflow in open-water and ice conditions; collaborating with partners and cooperators to develop proposals to meet their science needs; and training staff on USGS policies/methodologies for collection of hydrologic data.
Nick began his USGS career as a student with the Maine Water Science Center while attending the University of Maine. After graduation, Nick worked in the Maine Data Program, building an expertise in the collection and publication of streamflow and groundwater data. In addition, Nick took a particular interest in the use of hydroacoustics for measurement of velocity and streamflow. This interest led to opportunities to test new acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) for the USGS, teach national training courses on the subject, and serve as a member of the USGS Hydroacoustics Work Group (HaWG). Starting in 2016, Nick supervised staff in the Maine Office of the New England Water Science Center, with a focus on streamflow and groundwater monitoring. Beginning in 2024, Nick oversees the Monitoring Operations Section for the New England Water Science Center. Nick also serves on the IJC International St. Croix River Watershed Board, and as co-chair of Maine's Drought Task Force and River Flow Advisory Commission.

Hadlock Brook, in Acadia National Park, is a small watershed that was monitored by the USGS from 1999 to 2006. The Hadlock Falls is a popular spot for a break on one of the many scenic trails through the park. The USGS gaging station was approximately 100 ft above the falls.

In February 2005 a visit to a USGS station on Libby Brook near Northfield, Maine revealed a gap between the water level and a layer of ice above. Cold temperatures after a rain event caused the ice layer to form and as water levels dropped the ice layer remained.
