 abstract: "Brenda Densmore (Woodward) has worked as a hydrologist for the USGS Nebraska\
   \ Water Science Center since 2003 and previously as a student trainee starting\
   \ in 2001. She has an undergraduate degree in fisheries and wildlife and a graduate\
   \ degree in Natural Resources with emphasis in Aquatic Ecology, both from the\
   \ University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  She has participated in and lead water-quality\
   \ and biological monitoring programs as part of the USGS National Water-Quality\
   \ Assessment Program, EPA\u2019s Environmental Monitoring and Assessment program,\
   \ and EPA\u2019s National Rivers and Streams Assessment.  Brenda has taken the\
   \ lead on GPS surveying for the Nebraska Water Science Center and has collected\
   \ and worked with both aerial and tripod-mounted LiDAR.  Since early 2007 Brenda\
   \ has lead several Missouri River surveying projects, which incorporate bathymetric\
   \ surveying.  Surveys prior to 2008 were completed using singlebeam echosounding\
   \ equipment along with GPS and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler to measure\
   \ depth, position, water-surface elevation, and velocity.  Recently, Brenda and\
   \ other scientists at the USGS have used a multibeam echosounder to survey the\
   \ river bed and structures of the Missouri River."
