... Specific research subjects include development of biological monitoring procedures for environmental decision making; time-related consequences of environmental change ranging from stormwater runoff to climate-change effects; analysis of organismhabitat relationships in streams and wetlands directed to restoration and naturalization; systems analysis of interactions between human and natural systems, including transportation-system interactions with wildlife; and development of engineering design approaches that minimize environmental and ecological impact. FLUVIAL HYDRAULICS AND HYDROLOGY Hsieh Wen Shen, emeritus professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, taught graduate courses on erosion, sedimentation, environmental river mechanics, and river engineering and undergraduate courses in fluid mechanics and basic hydrology.

... Her expertise is in groundwater management and developing practical, appropriate solutions to difficult public-policy issues. She has been involved in all aspects of implementation of the 1980 Groundwater Management Act, including establishing water rights and permits; developing mandatory conservation requirements for municipal, agricultural, and industrial water users; developing plans for artificial recharge; and writing the Assured Water Supply Rules that require new subdivisions in AMAs to prove a 100year supply of water.
From page 284...
... She has written and presented extensively on protection and restoration of endangered species, biological diversity, adaptive management, and the effective use of science in environmental policy. AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS Frank Lupi has a joint appointment at Michigan State University as associate professor of environmental and natural-resource economics in the Departments of Agricultural Economics and Fisheries and Wildlife.
From page 285...
... Her research interests include natural resources and land management, environmental change, biotic resources, human-environment relations, rural landscapes, and public lands. She has been involved in the multiuniversity Global Change in Local Places and Human-Environment Regional Observatory research projects, with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF)
