Aleia Couchman
Hello! I'm Aleia. I work in the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana (OKI) Water Science Center as a Hydrologist with projects primarily focused on sediment and nutrient loading.
I began work with the USGS in 2020 as a Student Hydrologist through the Pathways program. I operate and maintain water-quality equipment that continuously monitor surface water conditions and conduct sampling for a multitude of water constituents. I also analyze and utilize data collected to write reports for different projects. I primarily work with nutrient and sediment data, but my goal is to expand the topics that I work with and assist in furthering water science innovation.
