Biographical Sketches of Committee Members
HERMAN BOUWER (Chairman) received his Ph.D. in
agricultural engineering (soil and water
management) in 1955 from Cornell University. He is
currently the director of the USDA Water
Conservation Laboratory and an adjunct professor,
Arizona State University and University of Arizona
(teaching semester courses in ground water
hydrology, supervising graduate dissertation
projects, giving lectures and seminars). As
laboratory director, he directs a research program
consisting of development of efficient irrigation
systems, water measurement, irrigation scheduling,
remote sensing of crop stress and
evapotranspiration, ground water recharge, ground
water quality protection, and other projects on
conserving water and its,quality.
ROBERT E. BECK is a professor of law at Southern
Illinois University, Carbondale. He received his
LL.B. from the University of Minnesota in 1960 and
his LL.M. from New York University in 1966. His
expertise is natural resource law and he
specializes in oil and gas, coal mining, and water
resources. Dr. Beck has received several honors
and awards, including the Chester Fritz
Distinguished Professorship in 1975 and the Order
of the Coif in 1960.

CORALE L. BRIERLEY obtained her Ph.D. from the
University of Texas, Dallas in 1981. She is
presently a consultant at VistaTech in Salt Lake
City, Utah. Her research interests include
biogenic extractive metallurgy, biological
treatment methods for inorganic wastes,
thermophilic chemautotrophic microorganisms, and
reclamation of solid mine waste. Dr. Brierley is a
member of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and
Exploration, and the Society for Industrial
Microbiology.
C. THOMAS HAAN acquired his Ph.D. (1967) from
Iowa State University in agricultural engineering.
Dr. Haan is a Regents Professor and Sarkeys
Distinguished Professor of agricultural engineering
at Oklahoma State University. His research is in
the areas of mathematical, statistical, and
empirical models of various phases of the
hydrologic cycle; and hydrology of agricultural,
surface-mined, and forest lands. Dr. Haan is a
Registered Professional Engineer, a fellow of the
American Society of Agricultural Engineer, and a
member of the American Institute of Hydrology.
GEORGE M. HORNBERGER obtained his Ph.D. from
Stanford University (hydrology) in 1970. He also
holds a bachelors (1965) and masters (1967) in
civil engineering from Drexel University. As a
professor at the University of Virginia, his
current research interests include modeling of
environmental systems with uncertainty, the
hydrogeochemical response of small catchments.
water quality modeling, and ground water and lake
interaction. Dr. Hornberger is a member of the
American Geophysical Union, the American Geological
Institute, and Sigma Xi. He is also a member of
the WSTB Committee on USGS Water Resources Research
and other NRC committees.

Laboratory since 1973 as a soil and plant
scientist. He obtained his Ph.D. in soil physics
(1969) from the University of California,
Riverside. He specializes in areas of experimental
and computer modeling research on relationships
between environmental variables and whole-plant
physiological processes, including disruptions
induced by pollutant stress and soil variability
effects on hydrologic transport. Dr. Luxmoore is a
member of the American Geophysical Union and a
fellow of the Soil Science Society of America.
JOHN C. SENCINDIVER received his Ph.D. in
agronomy and soil science in 1977 from West
Virginia UniversitY.
_ ~ He is currently a processor
of soil science at West Virginia University. His
research interests lie in soil genesis and
classification, overburden and minesoil properties,
surface mine reclamation, and the impacts of
surface mining on ground water recharge and
quality. Dr. Sencindiver is a member of the
American Society for Surface Mining and
Reclamation, of the Soil Science Society of
America, and of various other organizations.
JAMES R. WALLIS received his B.S. in forestry
from the University of New Brunswick in 1950, an
M.S. from Oregon State University in 1954, and a
Ph.D. in soil morphology from the University of
California, Berkeley in 1965. Currently he is a
research staff member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson
Research Center, where he has been since 1967. His
principal interests are in mathematical models
applied to hydrology, soils, forestry, and land
management. Dr. Wallis is a member of the Water
Science and Technology Board.
WILLIAM W. WOESSNER is an associate professor of
hydrogeology at the University of Montana,
Missoula. He holds a Ph.D. in geology
(hydrogeology), minor in civil and environmental
engineering, from the University of Wisconsin,
