Committee Members and Staff
Kenneth H. Reckhow, Chair, is chief scientist in Global Climate Change
and Environmental Sciences at RTI International and professor emeritus of
water resources in the Nicholas School Faculty division of Environmental
Sciences and Policy at Duke University. Dr. Reckhow’s research activities
have concerned the development, evaluation, and application of models and
other assessment techniques for the management of water quality. Recent
work by Dr. Reckhow’s group has focused on the assessment of nonpoint
source pollution on surface water quality and the development of total
maximum daily loads (TMDLs). He has served on many National Research
Council (NRC) committees, including as chair of the Committee to Assess
the Scientific Basis of the Total Maximum Daily Load Approach to Water
Pollution Reduction and as a member of the Committee on Restoration of
the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. He received a B.S. in engineering physics
from Cornell University and an M.S. and a Ph.D. in environmental science
and engineering from Harvard University.
Patricia E. Norris, Vice Chair, is the Gordon and Norma Guyer and Gary L.
Seevers Chair in Natural Resource Conservation at Michigan State Univer-
sity. Her professional interests focus on the economics of natural resource
conservation, incentive-based natural resource conservation and environ-
mental policy, and conservation education. She has conducted research and
developed outreach programs addressing issues in soil conservation, water
quality, groundwater management, wetland policy, land markets, land-use
conflicts, and farmland preservation. In her extension work, she has focused
largely upon natural resource policy issues, working with private resource

owners, local governments, and state and federal agencies as they address
the needs for and impacts of institutional change. Dr. Norris teaches courses
in public policy analysis and natural resource and environmental econom-
ics. She received a B.S. in Agricultural Economics from the University of
Georgia and M.S. and Ph.D., both in Agricultural Economics, from the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
Richard J. Budell is the director of the Florida Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services’ Office of Agricultural Water Policy. In this position
he is responsible for the management of statewide programs to ensure that
the water quality goals and water quantity needs of Florida’s agricultural
industry are achieved. This includes the development and implementation
of regional programs to encourage agricultural producers to adopt vol-
untary, incentive-based management practices designed to address water
quality concerns, and the development and implementation of programs
to address agriculture’s nonpoint source impacts on water bodies targeted
for the establishment of TMDLs under the federal Clean Water Act. Mr.
Budell received a B.S. from Boise State University and an M.S. from Florida
State University.
Dominic M. Di Toro (NAE) is the Edward C. Davis Professor of Civil and
Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at the University of Delaware. He has specialized in the devel-
opment and application of mathematical and statistical models to stream,
lake, estuarine, and coastal water and sediment quality problems. Recently
his work has focused on the development of water and sediment quality
criteria for the U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA), sediment flux models for
nutrients and metals, and integrated hydrodynamic, sediment transport,
and water quality models. He is a member of the National Academy of
Engineering and served on the NRC Committee on Sediment Dredging
at Superfund Megasites. He received a B.E.E. in electrical engineering
from Manhattan College, an M.A. in electrical engineering from Princeton
University, and a Ph.D. in civil and geological engineering from Princeton
University.
James N. Galloway is associate dean for the sciences and Sidman P. Poole
Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia. His
research interests include the chemistry of natural waters, anthropogenic
alterations of biogeochemical cycles, and atmospheric chemistry. Current
activities include research on the acidification of streams in Shenandoah
National Park, the composition of precipitation in remote regions, air-sea
interactions, and the impact of Asia on global biogeochemistry. Dr. Gal-
loway has received numerous honors and awards, including the 2008 Tyler

Prize for Environmental Achievement for his work demonstrating the per-
vasive and persistent effects of reactive nitrogen on Earth’s environment. He
has served on many NRC committees, most recently the Subcommittee on
Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations. He received a B.A. from
Whittier College and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California,
San Diego.
Holly Greening is director of the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP). Ms.
Greening oversees a unique federal, state, and local partnership dedicated
to the preservation and restoration of Florida’s largest open-water estuary.
She manages TBEP’s varied technical and public outreach efforts, and she
serves as the chief liaison between the program and the elected officials,
scientists, regulators, and citizens that serve on its various committees. Ms.
Greening’s professional career has focused on implementation and man-
agement of freshwater and estuarine projects for state, federal, and private
entities. She has served on the Governing Board of the Estuarine Research
Federation and three recent NRC committees on coastal issues, including
the Committee on Causes and Management of Coastal Eutrophication, and
she is a member of the Ocean Studies Board. She received an M.S. in marine
ecology from Florida State University.
Andrew N. Sharpley is professor of soils and water quality in the Depart-
ment of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Arkan-
sas. His research investigates the cycling of phosphorus in soil-plant-water
systems in relation to agricultural production systems and water quality
and includes the management of animal manures, fertilizers, and crop
residues. He evaluates the role of stream and river sediments in modifying
the amounts and forms of phosphorus transported to lakes and reservoirs
in Arkansas. He has previous experience with the NRC, having served on
the Committee on Causes and Management of Coastal Eutrophication. He
received a B.Sc. in soil science and biogeochemistry from the University of
North Wales and a Ph.D. in soil science from Massey University.
Adel Shirmohammadi is associate dean for research in the College of Agri-
culture and Natural Resources and associate director of the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Maryland. His research
interests include modeling as a tool to predict movement of pesticides and
nutrients from watersheds in response to hydrological events, ground water
pollution, and how to prevent nutrient movement into the ground and
surface water systems. Dr. Shirmohammadi uses field and watershed scale
monitoring to develop and to validate mathematical models for identifying
best management practices. His research also involves interfacing nonpoint
source pollution models with geographic information systems (GIS) for pol-

tection’s Bureau of Water Management, where he oversaw agency par-
