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
HBMI PRMS Project
This project will provide a deterministic watershed model of the Meduxnekeag River watershed with a capacity to model water-temperatures capable of simulating future hydrologic and temperature changes based on projected climate estimates.
EPA National Low Flows
Low streamflow has great ecological importance as it defines the minimum extent (and carrying capacity) of in-stream habitat and affects biota composition and distribution, and species trophic structure.
Hydrologic Climate Change Indicators
Background Streams and rivers are an important environmental resource and provide water for many human needs. Streamflow is a measure of the volume of water carried by rivers and streams. Changes in streamflow can directly influence the supply of water available for human consumption, irrigation, generating electricity, and other needs. In addition, many plants and animals depend on...
Webinar: Historical Trends in Summer Precipitation, Baseflows, and Stormflows in New England and Projections of Seasonal Streamflows for Coastal Streams in Maine
Check out this webinar for more information on influencing water flow in Maine rivers and streams.
Impact of Changes in Streamflow and Temperature on Endangered Atlantic Salmon
Coastal rivers draining into the Gulf of Maine are home to the endangered Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment of Atlantic salmon. The Gulf of Maine population began to decline significantly by the late 19th century, leading to the closure of the commercial Atlantic salmon fishery in 1948. In recent years, populations have again begun to decrease again. State and federal fisheries...
