Projects and Teams -> SURFACE-WATER AND SEDIMENT STUDIES TEAM

line MISSION: The Surface-Water and Sediment Studies Team encompasses a variety of projects that involve monitoring or modeling of the quantity and/or quality of surface-water runoff. The products of these efforts provide critical information to local, state, national, and international managers necessary for making decisions regarding laws and regulations, urban development planning, and remediation activities. The team objectives are to: (1) efficiently manage projects from the conception and proposal stage on through management and operation, resulting in informative products, and (2) maintain a sufficient amount of funding and challenging work for the entire team. Through these objectives, it is our intent to continuously evolve with and develop new data-collection and analysis techniques, be proficient and respected modelers, plan for future projects, enhance the skills and growth of individual team members, and maintain a positive relationship with our cooperators.
