Martyn J Smith
Martyn Smith is the lead for Geospatial Intelligence and Research to Operations section.
Martyn J Smith is a supervisory physical scientist at the USGS New York Water Science Center in Troy, NY. Martyn works with a dynamic team of scientists and engineers specializing in emerging technologies and innovation. With primary focuses on software and hardware engineering, data visualization, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and extended reality. As a team we are looking towards a vision of a “Digital USGS” where the future of USGS science and the related concepts are more easily understood when assisted by both current and near-future technologies.

HAIL (Hydrologic Applied Innovations Lab)
Development of Long Island Water Quality Integrated Data System (LIQWIDS) - User interface and web services in support of collaboration under the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan(LINAP)
New York Nowcast, Recreational Beaches of New York
Identifying Thermal Refuges in the Schoharie Watershed
Groundwater Conditions on Long Island, New York in 2010
USGS online mapper for water-table altitude, and potentiometric surface of the Magothy, Jameco, Lloyd, and North Shore aquifers on Long Island, NY, in 2010.
New York Nowcast Beach Status
New York Nowcast predicts water quality conditions at select beach swimming areas in NY. The Nowcast estimates conditions by merging environment and climate data with variables measured at a beach by 8 AM each morning and entering them into a computer program which provides a probability from 1 to 100 as to whether or not the beach has exceeded the bathing-water standard of 235 units of E. coli.
Upstate New York Surficial Aquifer Viewer
Map view of over 30 sand and gravel aquifers in upstate New York (Note: Zoom-in to purple-shaded areas for detailed 1:24,000 scale aquifer maps. Use the Map Identify tool, "i", to display links to related on-line reports.)
New York Borehole Well Log Viewer
Borehole geophysics is the science of recording and analyzing measurements of physical properties made in wells or test holes. Probes that measure different properties are lowered into the borehole to collect continuous or point data that is graphically displayed as a geophysical log.
Monthly Hydrologic Conditions for New York Mapper
The U.S. Geological Survey New York Water Science Center’s monthly summary reports and tables of hydrologic conditions for surface and ground water list the station, county, period of record, and several statistics, including color-coded percent exceedance categories based on average monthly conditions for the period of record at each station.
StreamStats Data Preparation Tools, version 4
A Python package to pre-process and hydro-enforce digital elevation models using hydrography features for use in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) StreamStats project.
