Biographical Sketches of
Committee Members
PRANK W. SCHWARTZ received a Ph.D. in geology in 1972 from
the University of Illinois. He is currently a professor at the Ohio State
University; until very recently he was at the University of Alberta.
In addition to his research and teaching, he has been an active
consultant to government and private industry since 1972. Most of
this work has involved project management, report review, technical
advice, the development and application of computer models, and
field investigations.
CHARLES B. ANDREWS received a Ph.D. in geology in 1978 from
the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Since 1984 he has been vice
president, corporate once, at S. S. Papadopulos & Associates, Inc.,
where he directs projects involving all aspects of quantitative ground
water hydrology. Areas of expertise include the formulation of ground
water projects, modification and development of new off-the-shelf
numerical simulation models for adaptation to specific field projects,
and evaluation of contaminant and energy transport in ground water
systems. Current interests lie in developing techniques for quantify-
ing the risk associated with a given level of contamination in ground
water when only limited data are available. Previously, he served
with Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Wainut Creek, California, as
senior project hydrogeologist.

section of Battelle's Geosciences Department, received a Ph.D. in
engineering in 1979 from Utah State University. He is currently
the acting section manager for hydrology and the group leader for
soil physics at Battelle, responsible for professional staff who are
studying mathematical models of physical processes and chemical
reactions, analytic e] and numerical code developments, and site-
specific applications of models/codes. He has specialized in the area
of computational fluid mechanics and has experience in both finite-
difference and finite-element numerical methods and their application
to surface and subsurface flows.
LEONARD F. KON~OW received a B.A. in geology in 1966 from
Hofstra University. His graduate studies were at Pennsylvania State
University, where he received an M.S. and a Ph.D. in geology in
1969 and 1973, respectively. He has worked for the Water Resources
Division of the U.S. Geological Survey since 1972 and currently is a
research hydrologist in their Reston, Virginia, office. He was selected
by the Hydrogeology Division of the Geological Society of America
to be the Birdsall Distinguished Lecturer for 1985-1986. His work
focuses on the development, documentation, and application of solute
transport modem for ground water contamination problems.
CHESTER R. McKEE is president of In-Situ, Inc., a consulting firm
in Laramie, Wyoming. He received a B.S. in physics from Duquesne
University and a Ph.D. in hydrology from the New Mexico Insti-
tute of Mining and Technology. Prior to forming In-Situ in 1975,
he worked at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory on energy-related

subsurface hydraulic problems. For the past 12 years, McKee's con-
sulting experience has included hydrologic evaluations and environ-
mental licensing related largely to mining projects. He has published
about 20 articles on hydrodynamics, explosive fracturing, subsidence,
hydrology, and restoration of ground water.
DENNIS B. McIAUGHI~ received a Ph.D. in 1985 from Princeton
University. His current research interests include the effects of spa-
tial variability and data variability on the accuracy of ground water
models. He is associate professor of civil engineering at the Ralph M.
Parsons Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, having
previous experience at the University of California, Davis, as lecturer,
and as principal, Resources Management Associates, Lafayette, Cal-
ifornia. His principal fields of interest are hydrology and water re
sources systems.
JAMES W. MERCER received a Ph.D. in geology in 1973 from
the University of Illinois. He is president and hydrogeologist, Geo-
lians, Inc., specializing in all phases of geohydrologic transport
analysis, including ground water flow, and heat and solute transport
in porous media for a wide range of applications. Previously he was
hydrologist, U.S. GeologicalSurvey, Water Resources Division, Re-
ston, Virginia. He has served on a National Research Council pane}
on ground water contamination, on an advisory pane! on national
ground water contamination for the Office of Technology Assessment,
and on a ground water research subcommittee of the Environmental
Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board. He is a member of the
National Research Council's Water Science and Technology Board.
ELLEN ]. QUINN received an M.S. in management in 1986 from
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Since 1982 she has served as sci-
entist, Northeast Utilities Service Company, Hartford, Connecticut,
where she designs projects to investigate conditions at hazardous
waste sites; evaluates chemical data and water flow information
to determine the extent of contamination and recommend reme-
dial measures; and negotiates with regulatory agencies to obtain
required permits and approval of site studies. She has developed
computer modeling capability for analysis of ground water flow and
chemical transport to determine compliance with state and federal
regulations. Previously she was a consultant at Sandia National Lab-
oratory, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Prior to that she was project
