Timothy Reilly

Tim Reilly received his B.S. and M.S. in Geology from Rutgers University. His graduate work focused on the use of strontium isotope geochemistry to refine Miocene geochronology and address coastal plain hydrogeologic questions. Tim’s USGS civil servant scientist career began as a student trainee hydrologist at the New Jersey Water Science Center with a focus on the collection and interpretation of sediment and groundwater quality data and evaluating geologic controls on the sorption of contaminants using direct push sampling technologies. In 2006 he was promoted to Research Hydrologist and served as part of a team of hydrologists and chemists studying the occurrence, fate, and effects of understudied environmental contaminants across the Nation. 

Tim shifted to program management in 2016 and served as an Associate Program Coordinator for the USGS Environmental Health Program supporting the planning and execution of Nation-wide One Health research focused on environmental contaminants and pathogens. In 2022 Tim began serving in his present role as an Associate Program Coordinator where he supports the planning, direction, and evaluation of all science activities within the USGS Energy Resources Program.
