   abstract: 'Dave Bjerklie retired from the USGS in 2018 after 18 years of service
     and returned as a part time employee on a short-term appointment to assist with
     an on-going USGS program developing satellite remote sensing measures of river
     discharge. He has over 40 years of experience in water resource investigations
     as a consulting engineer and scientist. His educational background includes
     a bachelors degree in Marine Biology, a masters degree in Civil Engineering,
     and a Doctorate in Earth Sciences. He has worked professionally in Maine, Alaska,
     the pacific northwest, and across New England as well as on national scale projects.Daves
     Adjunct Professor experience includes following courses taught: Natural Resource
     Measurements, Environmental Hydrology, Introduction to Environmental Science,
     Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems, and Environmental Seminar.When working
     with the USGS, Dave has developed proposals and worked as a principal investigator
     for many studies:New Hampshire wide watershed modeling project for a statewide
     future water resource assessment for the New Hampshire Department of Health
     and Human Services.Study of the potential effects of sea-level rise on coastal
     groundwater in the New Haven area and specifically beneath the campus of Yale
     University.Development of a one-dimensional model to estimate maximum tide heights
     in estuaries along the coast of Connecticut.Community-based watershed modeling
     to estimate potential changes to groundwater recharge and streamflow due to
     changes in land-use and climate change in a medium sized river basin in Connecticut.River
     hydraulic modeling and floodplain delineation for numerous rivers in Connecticut,
     and use of remote sensing to map extreme flooding conditions around Lake Champlain
     in May 2011 for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).He was also a
     co-investigator and science team member on several NASA grants to evaluate the
     use of satellite imagery, radar and lidar altimetry to estimate in-bank river
     geometry and discharge from space.Dave is currently a part of the USGS team
     developing remote sensing discharge ratings for Alaska including development
     and documentation of methods, uncertainties, data quality, and gaging network
     design.'
