Hydrologist
U.S. Geological Survey
Nancy A. Barth is a Hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center in Helena, Montana. She is currently a co-investigator on a multi-year, multi-phase regional study evaluating potential nonstationarity in annual peak flows and changes in seasonality related to hydroclimatic variability in the Midwest. Previously she worked on studies to update peak-flow flood frequency estimates at both gaged and ungaged sites in California and Alaska. She also worked with the USGS Office of Surface Water as a corresponding member of the Hydrologic Frequency Analysis Workgroup (HFAWG) under ACWI’s Subcommittee on Hydrology to update the Federal guidelines for determining flood frequency estimates in Bulletin 17C. In 2018, she completed her doctoral research at the University of Iowa in Civil and Environmental Engineering focused on improving flood frequency estimates based on the hydrometeorologic processes that drive much of the mixed populations of peak streamflows throughout the western United States.
