Dr. Marzolf has held various positions at Kansas State University, including assistant professor of zoology, associate professor of biology, and associate director of the division of biology. He is currently professor of biology. He was also visiting professor of zoology at the universities of Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Oregon. He is a member of the International Association of Theoretical and Applied Limnology, American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, and Ecological Society of America. His areas of research are reservoir limnology and riparian/stream linkages. Dr. Marzolf is a former member of the NRC's Water Science and Technol- ogy Board and was chairman of the NRC's Glen Canyon Environmental Studies Committee from 1986 to 1990. DAVID DAWDY received his M.S. in statistics from Stanford University. His professional experience is with the U.S. Geological Survey from 1951 to 1976 as research hydraulic engineer; adjunct professor of civil engineer- ing from 1969 to 1972 at Colorado State University, Fort Collins; and assis- tant district chief for programming, California District, Water Resources Division from 1972 to 1975.

264 COLORADO RIVER ECOLOGY AND DAM MANAGEMENT WILLIAM GRAF received his Ph.D. in August 1974 from the University of Wisconsin at Madison with a major in physical geography and a minor in water resources management. He specialized in fluvial geomorphology, hy- drology, conservation policy and public land management, and aerial photo- graphic interpretation. He was director, Center for Southwest Studies at Arizona State University, from 1981 to 1983. He has served as consulting geomorphologist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in a research and advisory role concerning the environmental impact assessment of flood con- trol works, Salt and Gila Rivers in Arizona; and for Camp, Dresser, and McKee, Inc., by writing a report on geomorphology and geology of the western Salt River Valley, Arizona. His research activities have included fluvial geomorphology and the effects of human activities on streams; pub- lic land management, especially wilderness preservation, and rapids in can- yon rivers; and dynamics and recreation management, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Dr. Graf has published many articles and book chapters on the impact of suburbanization on fluvial geomorphology; resources, the envi- ronment, and the American experience; and the effect of dam closure on downstream rapids.
