... She served as chair of the Water Resources Management Program, UW Institute for Environmental Studies, from 1995-99 and she is also a member of the Geological Engineering Program faculty. Her current research focuses on the interactions between physical and chemical processes that control mass transport in ground water.
From page 68...
... Her current research projects include study of mechanisms controlling bacterial community abundance, productivity, and structure in tidal marsh creeks; impacts of microbial processes on water quality; organic matter accretion in salt marsh sediments; and rhizosphere effects on organic matter decay in anaerobic sediments.

... KENNETH H RECKHOW is a professor of water resources at Duke University and is the director of the Water Resources Research Institute at North Carolina State University.
From page 71...
... He is a fellow of the American Ornithologist Union, a member of Sigma Xi, American Society of Naturalists, Animal Behavior Society, Audubon Society, Cooper Ornithological Society, Ecological Society of America, Phi Beta Kappa, and many other scientific organizations. His research interests are in cooperative breeding in birds; reproductive biology of precocial birds; primate intragroup social behavior; evolution of cooperative breeding in birds; ecological basis of sensitivity to habitat fragmentation; kinship effects on behavior; and parental behavior on precocial birds.
From page 72...
... Restoration of some disturbed ecosystems can only be considered in geologic time frames because of the degree of disturbance that has occurred on these sites. In addition, other aspects of the South Florida ecosystem, including both restoration and development activities, will inevitably be changing at the same time, further complicating the ability to assess the success of the individual restoration components.
