Melting snow near Miles City created measurable flow in Reservation Creek. This site is only visited when there are high flows,
Peter R. Wright
Peter's current work includes studies of groundwater flow and quality at the Jackson Hole Airport and use of DNA analyses to assess pathogenic organisms in geothermally influenced springs in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, and Teton County, Wyoming.
Peter started his career in 1992 with the Ohio District, where he coordinated field activities for the Basewide Monitoring Program at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and worked on groundwater and surface-water quality and microbial studies. In 1998 Peter moved to Billings Montana (working for the Wyoming District) to coordinate the field activities for a water-quality assessment of the Yellowstone River Basin by the National Water Quality Assessment Program. Since moving to Montana Peter has worked on groundwater and surface-water quality studies and ecological studies including NAWQA, Powder River Basin ecology and EPA’s EMAP and NRSA programs.

Occurrence of pathogen Naegleria fowleri in northwestern Wyoming hot springs
Naegleria fowleri ( N. fowleri ) commonly referred to as the "brain-eating amoeba", is a thermophilic free-living amoeba found in warm and hot surface water that include freshwater ponds, lakes, rivers, and hot springs (Yoder and others. 2010).
Jackson Hole Airport Groundwater Study
In 2008 the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Jackson Hole Airport Board and Teton Conservation District, began a study designed to characterize the alluvial aquifer at the Jackson Hole Airport. The purpose of this study was to determine the direction of groundwater flow, calculate hydraulic gradients, and characterize groundwater quality both upgradient and downgradient of airport...
