Sherry Mitchell-Bruker
Senior Scientist

Dr. Sherry Mitchell-Bruker is a groundwater hydrologist with 26 years of experience in the environmental science field. Dr. Mitchell-Bruker has modeled groundwater flow, surface water -- groundwater interactions, surface water flows, and sediment flows. Dr. Mitchell-Bruker has investigated the ecological impacts of hydrology in the Everglades. She has also modeled groundwater flow and groundwater and surface water interactions to delineate wellhead protection areas for municipal well fields in Indiana and Michigan. Her primary technical skill is in the area of modeling the interaction of surface water and groundwater and evaluating ecohydrology. Over the past decade Dr. Mitchell-Bruker has published research reports, technical guidance documents, and journal articles. She has taught university courses at Indiana University in both the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Geography Department.

Dr. Mitchell-Bruker coordinated a multi-agency research program to address hydrologic research needs tosupport Everglades restoration. She was involved in soliciting proposals, making recommendations for distributing research funds and tracking the progress of funded research. Dr. Mitchell-Bruker provided significant testimony supporting the Department of Interior in the decision of the lead land acquisition case for the Everglades National Park expansion project.

Currently, Sherry is a groundwater hydrologist and modeler with WHPA. In this role, Dr. Mitchell-Bruker is responsible for the development, calibration, and predictive modes of regional and local groundwater models. Her projects investigate the impacts of regional pumping and development on well fields and evaluate the most efficient operation of the well fields.
