   abstract: "Rick is a project hydrologist at the Central Midwest Water Science\
     \ Center in Rolla, Missouri.  Rick received his bachelor\u2019s degree and master\u2019\
     s degree in civil engineering (focused on Hydrology and Hydraulics) from the\
     \ Missouri University of Science and Technology (M S&T, formerly UMR). Since\
     \ joining the USGS in 1991, Rick has devoted his career to studying surface\
     \ water hydraulics and specializes in bridge scour and applications of multibeam\
     \ echosounders and motion-compensated and tripod-based lidar technology for\
     \ geomorphic assessment and change detection.  He has participated in applied\
     \ research focusing on predicting and measuring scour at bridge piers using\
     \ hydraulic models and field methods. Rick is a recognized expert in the use\
     \ of multibeam echosounder technology for assessment of bridge scour during\
     \ floods as well as bathymetric surveying of inland alluvial rivers and streams\
     \ and lakes."
