 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.'
