Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecturer
Thomas Dunne is a professor in the School of Environmental Science and Management and the Department of Geological Sciences and Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He conducts field and theoretical studies of drainage basin, hillslope, and fluvial geomorphology and the application of hydrology and geomorphology to landscape management and hazard analysis. Dr. Dunne obtained a B.A. in geography from Cambridge University in 1964 and a Ph.D. in geography from the Johns Hopkins University in 1969. He conducted research on runoff processes under rainfall and snowmelt while working with the U.S. Department of Agricuture's Agricultural Research Service in Vermont and on hillslope geomorphology while working with the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey. Dr. Dunne was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1988 for his pioneering work in the fields of geomorphology and hydrology.

Dr. Burges' research interests are in surface water hydrology; urban hydrology; water supply engineering; the application of stochastic methods in water resources engineering; water resources systems, design, analysis, and operation; water resources aspects of civil engineering; and ground water hydrology. He is a fellow member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Geo-
physical Union. He is the immediate past president of the hydrology section of the American Geophysical Union. Dr. Burges was a member of the Water Science and Technology Board from 1985 to 1989.

She received a B.S. from the University of Maryland in 1989, an S.M. in 1991, and a Ph.D. in 1995 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Brubaker is a member of the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the Soil and Water Conservation Society.
Dara Entekhabi is an associate professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received a B.A. in geography in 1983, an M.A. from the Center for Environment, Technology, and Development in 1984; and an M.A. in geography from Clark University in 1987. Dr. Entekhabi received a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990. His research interests are in land-atmosphere interactions, remote sensing, physical hydrology, operational hydrology, hydrometeorology, ground water-surface water interaction, and hillslope hydrology. His professional awards include the National Science Foundation's Presidential Young Investigator (1991–1996), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Gilbert Winslow Career Development Chair (1994–1996), the Arturo Parisatti International Prize Competition (1994), and the American Geophysical Union's Macelwane Award (1996).
