Discover what a career in science with the U.S. Geological Survey looks like. The Maryland-Delaware-DC Water Science Center is home to skilled scientists of many disciplines: hydrologists, geomorphologists, geographers, data scientists, statisticians, biologists, technicians, and more. You name it, we need it.

The USGS is monitoring Lake Accotink, Accotink Creek, and Long Branch to better understand sediment flow into and out of the lake.

Our scientists are keen on understanding the impact that urban and suburban developments can have on stream habitats.

This video is an introduction of the USGS Northeast Region's science efforts to support society's evolving needs through its engaged and diverse workforce.

Narrated presentation that provides a unique, long-term perspective (1950-2050) of the major drivers of nitrogen change up to the present, and forecasts how they may affect nitrogen into the future for the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Information is based off of U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1486.
