Daniel Kroes
Graduated with a master’s from East Carolina University in 2001 where he studied the effects of climate on the geomorphology of streams and wetland occurrence on their floodplains. He began working for USGS in 2001 where he studied sediment and nutrient deposition, subsidence, channelization, effects of dam operations, and tidal effects on the geomorphology and ecology of Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain and Piedmont rivers and floodplains as well as in the Atchafalaya Basin. He moved to Louisiana in 2007 to work in the Basin and other locations to determine the geomorphic changes caused by changes in flow and sediment distribution patterns across these floodplains.
