Job Description / Duties
My job has three major components which keep me from ever getting bored and a fourth component which pulls everything together.  The first duty keeps me seated in front of a computer managing hydrology, watershed, and water quality data entry, analysis, and archiving.  My second responsibility keeps me hopping in the laboratory analyzing or supervising analysis of water and/or sediment samples from our watershed, water quality, and hydrology research projects.  The third duty involves installing, maintaining, and utilizing hydrologic field equipment, to collect field data.  This ensures that I keep my tan by spending hours outdoors or else I spend time communicating with field staff.  My last challenge is to help analyze, summarize, and write the story of what it all means while ensuring all along the way that we have proper QA/QC (quality-assurance/quality-control) measures in place.
