Biography
Jeff Fischer is the Associate Director for the U.S. Geological Survey, New Jersey Water Science Center. He has worked for the U.S. Geological Survey for over 35 years and has many years of experience studying water use and water quality issues in river basins and aquifers, and stream ecosystem health. His early work characterized the geology of the Bering Sea, and studies in Nevada quantified rates of infiltration in arid environments. After moving to New Jersey he conducted research on biodegradation rates of organic compounds in the subsurface, and the transport and fate of contaminants in streams, aquifers, and water-treatment systems. He received his B.S. in geology from the University of Delaware and his M.S. in hydrology from the University of Nevada – Reno.
