His undergraduate thesis at University of Pennsylvania\ \ focused on self-formed channel geometry in alluvial suspended-sediment dominated\ \ rivers in the laboratory. His PhD research at University of Minnesota was\ \ on the dynamics of sediment transport partitioning in delta distributary networks,\ \ using experiments, numerical modeling, and remote sensing. During his postdoc\ \ at Caltech, he studied sedimentation and silt/clay transport in river deltas\ \ through numerical modeling, remote sensing, and field work in the Mississippi\ \ River Delta. Since starting at USGS in 2022, he has worked to develop numerical\ \ models for predicting fine sediment transport in the Colorado River, with\ \ an emphasis on silt and clay, which via turbidity can affect native and non-native\ \ fish as well as gross primary productivity." additionalType: personal statement email: gsalter@usgs.gov hasCredential: - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: "2014-2019: PhD in Earth Sciences, University of Minnesota\n\u2022 Dissertation\ \ title: \u201CControls on the Flux Distribution of Delta Networks\u201D\n\u2022\ \ Advisor: Chris Paola" - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: "2010-2014: B.A. in Earth Science (with honors), University of Pennsylvania,\ \ Minor: Mathematics\n\u2022 Thesis title: \u201CDynamics and Geometry of\ \ Equilibrium Channels Well Above Threshold\u201D" hasOccupation: - '@type': OrganizationalRole affiliatedOrganization: '@type': Organization name: Southwest Biological Science Center url: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/southwest-biological-science-center roleName: Hydrologist startDate: '2024-05-12T15:40:38.206025' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: '2022-present: Research Hydrologist, US Geological Survey' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: '2019-2022: Postdoctoral Scholar, California Institute of Technology' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: '2014-2019: Research Assistant, University of Minnesota' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: '2018: Summer Research Assistant, Water Institute of the Gulf' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: "2017: Teaching Assistant \u2013 University of Minnesota, Sedimentology\ \ and Stratigraphy (ESCI 4602)" - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: '2015-2018: National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow, University of Minnesota' - '@type': Occupation additionalType: self-claimed professional experience name: "Student Mentorship:\n\u2022 2021: Kenny Thai, SURF undergraduate research\ \ project: \u201CModelling sediment flow on the Mississippi River\u2019s Wax\ \ Lake Delta\u201D\n\u2022 2020: Sarah Feil, SURF undergraduate research\ \ project: \u201CPredicting vertical accretion in the Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana.\u201D" identifier: - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: GeoKB value: https://geokb.wikibase.cloud/entity/Q49063 - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: ORCID value: 0000-0001-6426-0133 jobTitle: Hydrologist knowsAbout: - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Sediment transport - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Fluvial Geomorphology - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Morphodynamics - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Sedimentation and erosion - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Hydrology - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Numerical Modeling - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Remote sensing - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Mississippi River Delta - '@type': Thing additionalType: self-claimed expertise name: Colorado River memberOf: '@type': OrganizationalRole member: '@type': Organization name: U.S. Geological Survey name: staff member startDate: '2024-05-12T15:40:38.203446' name: Gerard L Salter, PhD url: https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/gerard-l-salter
