Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaren Ryberg is a senior water-resources consultant and research leader with two decades of federal hydrology experience, recognized for expertise in environmental statistics, flood-frequency analysis, and water-quality trend detection. She has authored 60+ peer-reviewed papers, co-authored a widely used statistics textbook, contributed to the 5th National Climate Assessment, and served as an associate editor for an international hydrology journal. As a hands-on manager and mentor, she has turned around teams, accelerated hiring, overseen multi-state hydrologic operations and large budgets, and led a nine-state nonstationary flood-frequency project. Equally comfortable in the field, classroom, and policy arena, she teaches statistics and math, offers national training since 2011, and was quoted in the New York Times for pesticide trend research. Currently transitioning from a senior leadership role at USGS while consulting and teaching, she pairs rigorous science with systems thinking and recent executive training in AI strategy to bridge research, operational practice, and decision-making.
