Early Career Award to Kansas Geological Survey Scientist

Sam Zipper of the Kansas Geological Survey has been awarded the 2022 Kohout Early Career Award from the Hydrogeology Division of GSA.

Sam has been working on how water and land management decisions affect the people, economy and environment of the Great Plains, including relationships between intermittent and ephemeral streams and playas and other ecological systems, studying the effects of irrigator-driven groundwater conservation programs on water resources and developing easy-to-use tools to estimate streamflow depletion caused by groundwater pumping. His current work in part is funded by NSF, USDA, USGS, and NASA.

Zipper has been with the Kansas Survey since 2019, and is the author or co-author of 58 scientific publications with more than 250 co-authors from more than 150 institutions. Congratulations, Sam!
