Robert Dudley
Robert Dudley is a Supervisory Hydrologist in the New England Water Science Center.
As Chief of the Statistical and Geospatial Section, New England Water Science Center, Rob manages a diverse team of scientists involved in a wide range of interpretive water-resources investigations that include water use, quantity, and quality, geospatial applications, and remote sensing. His project work has focused on regional and national-scale statistical investigations of trends and variability of surface waters and groundwaters, and developing methods for estimating river flow using satellite imagery and altimetry data.
Science and Products
Enhancing Water and Sewer Utility Mapping in Massachusetts
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Water Utility Resilience Program (WURP), is assisting public water and wastewater utilities in transitioning their service infrastructure data to geographic information systems (GIS) and updating related statewide datasets and data visualization tools. Improving access to...
Satellite-based Remote Sensing of River Discharge
The U.S. Geological Survey and NASA are collaborating on a study to develop methods to estimate river flows from satellite observations.
Predictive Analysis of Water Demand for Providence, Rhode Island
The Providence Water Supply Board (Providence Water) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are collaborating on a study to predict future water demand in and around the city of Providence.
The Impact of Climate Change on Culturally Significant Wetland Plants and Their Habitat in the Meduxnekeag River Watershed in Maine
Wetland plants are important to Wabanaki people in Maine and are central to Houlton Band of Maliseet Indian (HBMI) identity. HBMI peoples have harvested culturally important plants within the Meduxnekeag watershed for generations. Basket making and medicinal plant harvesting are forms of cultural preservation that are also important to Tribal economies. Projections for climate change in...
Long-Term Data Collection Provides Insight to Changes in Water Resources in New England
Primarily through the efforts of Glenn Hodgkins and Robert Dudley, the New England Water Science Center has been studying historical changes in streamflows, groundwater levels, and lake ice in New England and across the country for 20 years. Glenn and Rob have analyzed a wealth of historical data, including 100+ years of streamflow data and 150+ years of lake-ice data at some locations...
Trend Reproduction
As part of the National Water Budget Project, our objective is to quantify how well observed trends are simulated.
