The 1988 sample was drawn solely from the membership of a scientific society, the American Geophysical Union. A sampling bias is therefore possible that might lead to underrepresentation, in the 1988 survey, of hydrologists in He consulting engineering sector, of Hose with an engineering educational background, and of those with less than a doctoral degree.
