Robert H Flynn
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.
