He has led the development of in-situ sediment capping and has evaluated its applicability to a wide range of contaminants and settings, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from fuels, manufactured gas plants and creosote manufacturing facilities, polychlorinated biphenyls, and metals. His current research activities are focused on sustainable water management and the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites.

His research involves basic and applied multiple-scale studies on the biology and ecology of aquatic ecosystems, how terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are coupled, the influence of human activities on those processes, and microbe-insect interactions in aquatic systems and carrion decomposition. Specific projects include the ecology of microbialinvertebrate interactions and their role in mycobacterial disease emergence in West Africa; microbial-insect carrion interaction networks in watersheds of southeast Alaska; watershed biomonitoring; and carrion decomposition with applications in forensics, including human postmortem microbiome studies.

Some of her most recent work has involved participatory modeling efforts involving stakeholders and managers seeking solutions to improve water quality and restore seagrasses in Delmarva coastal lagoons and a collaboration with wastewater engineers to understand the restoration trajectories of hypoxic estuaries.

Prior to coming to the USGS, Dr. Long worked for the South Dakota Water Department to simulate groundwater flow in the karstic Madison aquifer using MODFLOW, and he worked as a consultant conducting GIS analysis and groundwater modeling with MODFLOW related to a proposed low-level nuclear waste site in Boyd County, Nebraska, and to assess ammonia contamination for Terra Nitrogen in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa.

His current research is focused on modeling population dynamics of fish and aquatic food webs, and how they respond to a variety of types of stressors, including changes in ater flows and quality, lethal and sublethal effects of contaminants, w hypoxia, alteration of physical habitat, and climate change. He recently published a model of the population dynamics of the delta smelt, which is a listed species in the California Delta that is a center of controversy about how much water can be pumped out of the system for irrigation and water supply, and he has also published on lower trophic level (algae and micro and macro zooplankton)

Staff in these departments prepare the District's environmental documents, permit applications, Groundwater Management Plan, and Long-Term Facilities Plan, and conduct the District's natural resource management, watershed planning, and recharge planning. In particular, he has evaluated conjunctive use and Aquifer Storage and Recovery projects in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, Central Basin, and San Gabriel Basins, including rojects that would recharge p up to 50,000 acre-feet per year of recycled and imported water.
