 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."
