Will is a Physical Scientist in the Studies Section.
Will began his career with the USGS in 2019 in Raleigh, NC doing mostly Water Quality Field work, and now works in Helena, MT. Currently he does geospatial analysis in Python and ArcGIS for Wyoming StreamStats and National StreamStats often using the Denali Supercomputer for larger scale analysis. He also works on flood frequency analysis, software development in R, and does some surveying and water quality field work. He hopes to continue building skills in software development, geospatial data analysis, and field work. He also wants to explore unfamiliar topics like machine learning and parallelization.

Tracking geomorphic changes after suburban development with a high density of green stormwater infrastructure practices in Montgomery County, Maryland
Stream morphology is affected by changes on the surrounding landscape. Understanding the effects of urbanization on stream morphology is a critical factor for land managers to maintain and improve vulnerable stream corridors in urbanizing landscapes. Stormwater practices are used in urban landscapes to manage runoff volumes and peak flows, potentially mitigating alterations to the flow regime that

Peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Dawson and Richland Counties, and the Powder River Basin, Montana, based on data through water year 2022
The USGS Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center (WY–MT WSC) completed a report (Sando and McCarthy, 2018) documenting methods for peak-flow frequency analysis following implementation of the Bulletin 17C guidelines. The methods are used to provide estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 66.7-, 50-, 42.9-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) for selected US
Geomorphic metrics across four catchments in Clarksburg, Maryland, 2002-19
This dataset contains geomorphic metrics across 32 cross-sections at four catchments within the Clarksburg Special Protection Area in Montgomery County, Maryland. These data were derived from raw cross-sectional data collected by the Montgomery County, Maryland Department of Environmental Protection. Geomorphic metrics include channel area, bed location, channel depth, channel width, and bank move
