Biographical Sketches of Committee on Hydrologic Science
Dara Entekhabi (chairman) is an associate
professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research interests
are in the basic understanding of coupled surface, subsurface, and
atmospheric hydrologic systems that may form the bases for enhanced
hydrologic predictability. Specifically, he conducts research in
land-atmosphere interactions, remote sensing, physical hydrology,
operational hydrology, hydrometeorology, groundwater-surface water
interaction, and hillslope hydrology. He received his B.A and M.A.
degrees from Clark University. Dr. Entekhabi received his Ph.D. in
civil engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
Mary P. Anderson is a professor in the Department of
Geology and Geophysics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Her
current research interests include the effects of potential global
climate change on groundwater-lake systems and quantifying
groundwater recharge. Dr. Anderson received a B.A. degree in
geology from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a
Ph.D. in hydrology from Stanford University. She is a former member
of the Water Science and Technology Board.
Roni Avissar is professor and chair of the Department of
Environmental Sciences and director of the Center for Environmental
Prediction at Rutgers University. His research focuses on the study
of land-atmosphere interactions from micro to global scales,
including the development and use of a variety of atmospheric,
land, and oceanic models. Dr. Avissar received his B.S. degree in
soil and water science, his M.S. degree in micrometeorology, and
his Ph.D. in mesoscale meteorology from the Hebrew University in
Israel. He is the editor of the Journal of Geophysical
Research-Climate and Physics of the Atmosphere.
Roger C. Bales is a professor in the Department of
Hydrology and Water Resources at the University of Arizona. Dr.
Bales conducts research on the hydrology and biogeochemistry of
alpine areas, polar snow and ice, and water quality. He received
his B.S. degree from Purdue University, his M.S. degree from the
University of California, Berkeley, and his Ph.D. from the
California Institute of Technology.
Eville Gorham is a professor of ecology and botany at the
University of Minnesota. His research interests are in ecology and
biogeochemistry, in particular ecosystem acidification (both
natural and anthro-

pogenic) and the role of northern peatlands in the global carbon
cycle and their likely responses to climate warming. He received
his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Dalhousie University in Nova
Scotia and his Ph.D. from the University of London. Dr. Gorham is a
member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Water Science
and Technology Board, and he has served on several NRC
committees.
Marc B. Parlange is a professor in the Department of
Geography and Environmental Engineering at Johns Hopkins
University. His primary research interest is in hydrology and fluid
mechanics in the environment, especially questions of
land-atmosphere interaction, turbulence and the atmospheric
boundary layer, watershed-scale hydrology, and vadose zone
transport processes. Dr. Parlange received his B.S. degree from
Griffith University (Brisbane, Australia) and his M.S. degree in
agricultural engineering and Ph.D. in civil and environmental
engineering from Cornell University.
Christa Peters-Lidard is an assistant professor in the
School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia
Institute of Technology. Her primary research focuses on
measurement and modeling of terrestrial water and energy balances
and fluxes related to land-atmosphere interactions over a range of
temporal and spatial scales. This research encompasses the areas of
micrometeorology, boundary layer meteorology, field experiments,
hillslope hydrology, hydrometeorology, numerical modeling, spatial
data analysis, and remote sensing. She received her B.S. degree in
geophysics from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering and operations
research from Princeton University.
Kenneth W. Potter is a professor of civil and
environmental engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
His teaching and research interests are in hydrology and water
resources, including hydrologic modeling, estimation of hydrologic
risk, estimation of hydrologic budgets, watershed monitoring and
assessment, and hydrologic restoration. Dr. Potter is a past member
of the Water Science and Technology Board and has served on many of
its committees. He received his B.S. degrees in geology from
Louisiana State University and his Ph.D. in geography and
environmental engineering from The Johns Hopkins University.
Eric F. Wood is a professor in the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering, Water Resources Program, at
Princeton University. His areas of interest include
hydroclimatology with an emphasis on land-atmospheric interaction,
hydrologic impact of climate change, stochastic hydrology,
hydrologic forecasting, and rainfall-runoff modeling. Dr. Wood is
an associate editor for Reviews in Geophysics, Applied
Mathematics and Computation: Modeling the Environment, and Journal
of Forecasting. Dr. Wood received a Sc.D. in civil engineering
from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a member of the
Water Science and Technology Board, the Board on Atmospheric
Sciences and Climate (BASC), and BASC's Climate Research
Committee.
