WATER RESOURCES MEMORANDUM 98.20

Subject:  PERSONNEL--Current Research Advisors and Assistant Research
          Advisors for Research

The purpose of this memorandum is to announce the current Research Advisors
(RAs) and Assistant Research Advisors (ARAs) for the research disciplines.
Research Advisors and Assistant Research Advisors serve on a rotational
basis.  The two smallest disciplines, Geomorphology and Sediment Transport
and Surface-Water Hydrology, continue to be combined for the purpose of
Research Grade Evaluation (RGE) panels.  They remain, however, separate and
distinct disciplines.

o       ECOLOGY:  Interaction with living material and hydrology

        Richard L. Smith (RA)           Boulder, CO     (Continuing)
        Robert G. Striegl, Jr. (ARA)    Boulder, CO     (New)

o       GEOMORPHOLOGY AND SEDIMENT TRANSPORT:  Erosion, transport, and
        deposition of particulate material

        Edmund D. Andrews               Boulder, CO     (Continuing)

o       GROUND-WATER HYDROLOGY:  Ground-water physics, flow through the
        unsaturated zone, transport within the unsaturated and saturated
        zones, and hydrogeology

        Christopher E. Neuzil (RA)      Reston, VA      (Continuing)
        Richard W. Healy (ARA)          Lakewood, CO    (New)

o       GROUND-WATER CHEMISTRY:  Hydrogeologic processes, chemical
        reactions, and distribution of organic and inorganic species

        Edward R. Landa (RA)            Reston, VA      (Continuing)
        David L. Parkhurst (ARA)        Lakewood, CO    (Continuing)

o       SURFACE-WATER HYDROLOGY:  Surface-water physics, surface-water
        hydrology, snow and ice

        Christopher Milly (RA)          Princeton, NJ   (Continuing)
        Jonathan M. Nelson (ARA)        Lakewood, CO    (Continuing)

o       SURFACE-WATER CHEMISTRY:  Organic and inorganic chemistry of
        surface water and environmental chemistry

        Eric T. Sundquist (RA)          Woods Hole, MA  (Continuing)
        George R. Aiken (ARA)           Boulder, CO     (Continuing)

I wish to express my thanks to outgoing Research Advisors, Julio Betancourt
(Ecology) and Steve Ingebritsen (Ground Water Hydrology) for their insight
into research issues and service to the organization.
