   abstract: BiographyRick grew up on the shores of the Atlantic and later the Great
     Lakes. Beaches, jellyfish, hurricanes, and alewive dieoffs all left indelible
     memories that helped shape Rick's career studying waters both salty and fresh.
     As an undergraduate physical scientist working for NOAA, Rick deployed current
     meters in Lake Erie. After graduating with a BS in marine geology in 1982, Rick
     landed on the island of Puerto Rico for a two week vacation. The two week vacation
     turned into an eighteen year tenure with the Puerto Rico Department of Natural
     Resources and U.S. Geological Survey during which he studied anthropogenic impacts
     on coastal waters and upland watersheds. In 1999, Rick and his family moved
     to Denver, Colorado to better understand fundamental processes driving water
     and solutes through watersheds from the continental divide to tropical rain
     forests. Current projects include Reaction-Transport Modeling in Groundwater
     and Watershed Systems and the Shingobee Headwaters Aquatic Ecosystems Project
     (SHAEP).Career Plans and ObjectivesAs a steward of the environment, I work with
     colleagues to understand the processes that 1) shape the surface of the earth
     and 2) change the composition of the water. This information can then be used
     to evaluate and manage our limited resources. Most challenging is the need to
     compile and synthesize a wide array of data from multiple sources. This may
     involve state-of-the-art signal processing or using a sextant to better locate
     a study site. My background and interests are centered on the premise of understanding
     the global picture while attempting to solve local problems in our streams,
     rivers, lakes and oceans.
