Rob is a Hydrologic Studies Chief for the Colorado Water Science Center (COWSC), in Lakewood, CO.
Rob Flynn began working for the U.S. Geological Survey in 1995 and has worked on a variety of groundwater and surface water projects including: surface water hydrology and hydraulics, sediment transport, statistical modeling and groundwater modeling studies. Recent work includes:
- U.S. Study manager for an International Joint Commission funded study, in collaboration with the Canadian government, to identify measures to mitigate flooding and the impacts of flooding in the Lake Champlain / Richelieu River basin
- USGS Northeast US Flood Science Capability Team Leader with a team goal of advancing flood science and decision support programs in the northeast USGS Water Science Centers and
- Flood-inundation hydraulic modeling and mapping projects.

Scoping of flood hazard mapping needs for Merrimack County, New Hampshire
This report was prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) New Hampshire/Vermont Water Science Center for scoping of flood-hazard mapping needs for Merrimack County, New Hampshire, under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Inter-Agency agreement Number HSFE01-05X-0018.AuthorsRobert H. FlynnFlood Study of Warren Brook in Alstead and Cold River in Alstead, Langdon, and Walpole, New Hampshire, 2005
This report presents water-surface elevations and profiles as determined using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) one-dimensional Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System, also known as HEC-RAS. Steady flow water-surface profiles were developed for two stream reaches: the Cold River from its confluence with the Connecticut River in Walpole, through Alstead to the McDermott BridgeAuthorsRobert H. FlynnGeneralized estimates from streamflow data of annual and seasonal ground-water-recharge rates for drainage basins in New Hampshire
This report presents regression equations to estimate generalized annual and seasonal ground-water-recharge rates in drainage basins in New Hampshire. The ultimate source of water for a ground-water withdrawal is aquifer recharge from a combination of precipitation on the aquifer, ground-water flow from upland basin areas, and infiltration from streambeds to the aquifer. An assessment of ground-waAuthorsRobert H. Flynn, Gary D. TaskerDevelopment of regression equations to estimate flow durations and low-flow-frequency statistics in New Hampshire streams
Regression equations and basin-characteristic digital datasets were developed to help water-resource managers estimate surface-water resources during periods of low flow in New Hampshire. The regression equations were developed to estimate statistics for the seasonal and annual low-flow-frequency and seasonal period-of-record and period-of-record flow durations. Because streamflow is maintained byAuthorsRobert H. FlynnA stream-gaging network analysis for the 7-day, 10-year annual low flow in New Hampshire streams
The 7-day, 10-year (7Q10) low-flow-frequency statistic is a widely used measure of surface-water availability in New Hampshire. Regression equations and basin-characteristic digital data sets were developed to help water-resource managers determine surface-water resources during periods of low flow in New Hampshire streams. These regression equations and data sets were developed to estimate streamAuthorsRobert H.
