On May 22nd, Hydrologic Technicians from our three offices converged on Hancock, Maryland for our annual ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) Regatta. Every year we compare all of our ADCPs at a stable site for a quality control check. Photo Cred- Teddy Reinhardt.
We're changing! Kentucky is now part of the USGS Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center! Given that, we're closing down this account and our NEW Twitter account is @USGS_OKI. Please follow us there for more great USGS science in the region!
The veterans from our Columbus, OH office and all of the USGS Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana family thank our Nation’s veterans for their service! #VeteransDay2018 – at Kentucky, USA

USGS is working to restore the approximately 14% of streamgages
that are offline due to an issue with the telemetry system that records and
transmits streamgage data. Learn more @ on.doi.gov/2O19bxa

We're testing the prototype to make a USGS water-quality "super gage" go mobile! Once tested / approved, we've partnered with the commercial shipping industry to enable real-time, water-quality monitoring as their commercial vessels navigate the inland waterways - we can't wait!

Yesterday Grant Rogers and Nick Gubbins, Hydrographers with the USGS, explained streamgaging to Purdue University students at our USGS Century Gage (Site No. 03335500) on the Wabash River at Lafayette, IN @USGS, @USGS_Kentucky
Demonstrating new USGS streamgage technology at #kamm2018; awesome “internet of the environment” tech developed with our partners at @CarnegieMellon
Justin Boldt from the USGS Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center teaching local emergency managers how to use the USGS Flood-Inundation Mapper at: #kamm2018
Proud to support our partners @LouisvilleUSACE at the Olmsted Locks and Dam dedication ceremony! They’re “BUILDING STRONG and Taking Care of People”!

Meet Tonja Clark and her USGS Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center administrative team (from L to R: Thomas Geary, Damon Starks, Gabe Fulkerson, Edassa Mccurdy, and Damon Williams - not pictured are Keturah Nail, Judy Green, Grant Thurmond, and Dawson Bezehertny)!
Say hello to Savannah Bryant! Savannah is one of our new OKI WSC student contractors and is currently conducting geophysical studies with Dr. Randy Bayless (taking the photo) in Dayton, Ohio.
Volunteers from USGS OH-KY-IN Water Science Center set a benchmark at @LHCBSA - Camp Crooked Creek to help kids from all across our region learn orienteering and mapping skills. We were deeply honored that the camp staff chose to highlight this on their 2018 patches!

We are creating a series of videos describing how to indirectly measure streamflow. The first 4 videos are ready and are on YouTube. Check them out here: goo.gl/37KpNk

Say hello to our new summer intern Brandon Rose! Brandon is entering his senior year at Murray State University and is majoring in Environmental Geology. Here Brandon is making a discharge measurement (his very first!) on Massac Creek nr Paducah, KY - USGS stn 03611260
Matt Hardebeck and Travis Cole recently serviced a continuous water-quality monitor on the end of the pier at 63rd Street Beach at Hyde Park, Illinois. This monitor is part of the GLRI effectiveness of BMPs for beach-restoration activities. More info at: go.usa.gov/xUN3a
USGS Ohio-Indiana-Kentucky Water Science Center's Faye Peters and Paul Bruenderman conduct equal-discharge-increment (EDI) water-quality sampling on the Ohio River at Cannelton, IN. Rivers aren't generally well mixed, so collecting defensible data takes skill and effort!
