The program will be limited to 24 participants comprised of Oregon University System graduate students, Oregon University System faculty and staff, and employees of the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The short course will be led by Dr. Carol Kendall with assistance from Drs. Anne Nolin and Jeff McDonnell and graduate student Eric Sproles. Dr. Kendall is research hydrologist in the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey and is the project lead of the Isotope Tracers Project. With Dr. Jeff McDonnell, Dr. Kendall co-edited the 1998 book Isotope Tracers in Catchment Hydrology. As an educator, Dr. Kendall has taught isotope hydrology short courses for 20 years to federal, state, and academic organizations.
