Massachusetts Estumy Project(MEP) <br /> _ _Linked Watershed EmbaymentModel PeerRevietiv_ W_� _ <br /> Soils Science&Nitrogen Transport <br /> Lawrence E.Band,Ph.D. <br /> Dr.Band is the Voit Gilmore Distinguished Professor of Geography and the Director of the Institute for <br /> the Environment at the University of North Carolina,Chapel Hill. His research is in the ecohydrology of <br /> watersheds,including the cycling of water,carbon and nutrients,the development and impacts of _ <br /> droughts and floods,and human/enviromnent interactions. Dr.Band's current research focuses in two <br /> National Science Foundation funded Long Terra Ecological Research(LTER)'sites:the Coweeta LTER <br /> in western North Carolina,and the Baltimore Ecosystem.Study,and the NSF funded Triangle ULTRA- <br /> EX(Urban Long Tenn Research Area-Exploratory)project in the NC Triangle. Past research has <br /> included projects in the Pacific Northwest,`Rocicy Mountains, China, Canada and Australia. In2010 he <br /> was Board Chair for the Consortium bf Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Sciences, a <br /> consortium of-130 US and foreign universities,non-profit'institutes,and domestic and foreign'water <br /> science and management agencies. <br /> Dr.Band has published more than 120 papers,book chapters and technical reports and has consulted with <br /> the EPA Chesapeake Bay Program,the South Florida Water Management District and State of California <br /> on watershed protection,storrnwater and ecosystem restoration. He was a coimnittee member on two <br /> recent National Academy of Science(NAS)panels on stor7nwater management(NRC,2008a)and on <br /> integrated hydrological/biogeochemical measurement(NRC,2008b) and is currently a member of a <br /> (NAS) cormnittee on land use change impacts. Dr.Band also participated in two reviews of the <br /> Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model(Band et al.2005,2008). <br /> Estuarine Hydrodynamic lhlodeling� <br /> Bfllly'R.Johnson;Ph.D. P.E.,DAWRE <br /> Billy H.Johnson retired as a research hydraulic engineer in 2001 frorn the US Army Corps of Engineers <br /> Engineering Research and Development Center(ERDC)located in Vicksburg,MS.He is currently the <br /> Managing Partner,of a small numerical modeling and engineering consulting firm known as <br /> Computational Hydraulics and Transport. <br /> He obtained a PhD in engineering from Mississippi State University and is a registered Professional <br /> Engineer in Mississippi.He is also a Diplomate in the Institute of Water Resources Engineering in the <br /> American Society of Civil Engineers. He was the ASCE Hydraulic Engineer of the Year in Mississippi in <br /> 1990 and was inducted into the ERDC Gallery of Distinguished Employees in 2005. <br /> He has 40 years of experience in developing and applying 11),2D,and 3D numerical hydrodynamic <br /> models.Areas in which he has been involved in modeling studies include Chesapeake Bay,Delaware <br /> Bay,Appalachicola Bay,Atchafalaya Bay,etc.He led the development of the 3D Chesapeake Bay <br /> hydrodynamic model,which is still employed inTMDL studies in the Bay. He introduced the concept of <br /> non-orthogonal boundaryfitted coordinates in the area of numerical hydrodynamic modeling. Several <br /> researchers,including Michael Spaulding and Peter Sheng have built upon that concept in the <br /> development of 3D hydrodynamic models.He has served on several technical review panels„including <br /> Florida Bay,Indian River,and several minimum flow studies on rivers in the Southwest Florida Water <br /> Management District, <br /> Estudrine Biology <br /> W.Judson Kenworthy,Ph.D. <br /> Dr.Kenwothy holds a BSc from the University of Rhode Island,a M.S.in Environmental Sciences from <br /> the University of Virginia and a PhD in Zoology at N.C.
