Stephen B Gingerich
Stephen Gingerich is a research hydrologist at the USGS Oregon Water Science Center.
Stephen Gingerich has been a Research Hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey since 1995. He has authored over 35 scientific papers on subjects such as groundwater modeling and island hydrology. He was a Fulbright Scholar working in Japan during 2008-09. He started working for the USGS in 1990 as a student. He has worked on hydrologic studies in Oregon, Hawaii, Guam, Japan, the Marshall Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Diego Garcia.
Education and Certifications
BS in Geosciences from the Pennsylvania State University, 1986
MS in Hydrology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1992
PhD in Hydrology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1995
Science and Products
Most atolls will be uninhabitable by the mid-21st century because of sea-level rise exacerbating wave-driven flooding
Noble gas signatures in the Island of Maui, Hawaii: Characterizing groundwater sources in fractured systems
Seawater-flooding events and impact on freshwater lenses of low-lying islands: Controlling factors, basic management and mitigation
Observations of nearshore groundwater discharge: Kahekili Beach Park submarine springs, Maui, Hawaii
Climate trends and projections for Guam
The effects of withdrawals and drought on groundwater availability in the Northern Guam Lens Aquifer, Guam
Estimating hydraulic properties from tidal attenuation in the Northern Guam Lens Aquifer, territory of Guam, USA
Groundwater availability in the Lahaina District, west Maui, Hawai'i
Hydrogeology of the Hawaiian islands
Canopy water balance of windward and leeward Hawaiian cloud forests on Haleakalā, Maui, Hawai'i
Groundwater availability study for Guam; goals, approach, products, and schedule of activities
Groundwater resources of Mosteiros basin, island of Fogo, Cape Verde, West Africa
Groundwater resources in Cape Verde provide water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption. These resources are limited and susceptible to contamination. Additional groundwater resources are needed for continued agricultural development, particularly during times of drought, but increased use and (or) climatic change may have adverse effects on the quantity and quality of freshwater availa
