Todd Halihan, Chair GSA Hydrogeology Division,pictured above with Martha and Maclain Halihancelebrating a hydrologically significant summer

in Stillwater (still gets warm though)

This year marks the 125anniversary of the GeologicalSociety of America, and weexpect a great meeting full ofscience, friends, and family.We look forward to seeing youin Denver for a week of greatd i scove r ies and warmfriendship. Although Denverhas been reminded stronglyof the relationship betweenrocks and water with theirrecent floods, it shouldn't limitthe meeting much (except fora couple of field trips). Ofcourse, extra sessions have

th been added to evaluate thefloods impacts.

The HydrogeologyDivision will kick off themeeting on Saturday nightthis year with a HydrogeologyLegends Dinner. Themeeting will be attended bythe children of our divisionfounders, Burke Maxey andPhil LaMoreaux. There arealso many former chairs anddivision award winners whowill be attending. Please joinus for a legendary night.Along with the festivities there

is a request to work on thegenealogy of the division.Please go to andfill out your academic advisorsinfo. Will be interesting to seeif the family tree is aphreatophyte.

The rest of the meetingwill have most of the thingsyou have come to expect withshort course, field trips, andtheme sessions. There is adrive for a more diverse groupof people attending themeeting, so if you see folkswith special badges (I'm notsure what the badges looklike), welcome them to theGSA. It is their first timeattending!

The division businessmeeting will take placeTuesday after the banquetand awards luncheon .Please join us and provideyour input on the health anddirection of the division. Thiswill be followed by theBirdsall-Dreiss lectureshipand the annual HydrogeologyDivision Student Reception.

See you there,

Zheng 2013 O.E. Meinzer AwardRecipient

Chengdu University of Technology). He thencompleted his Ph.D. in the US at the University ofWisconsin-Madison in 1988. While at theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison Chunmiaodeveloped an interest in writing codes for solutetransport. Upon graduation he worked for S.S.Papadopulos & Associates before joining thefaculty at the University of Alabama in thedepartment of geological sciences in 1993 wherehe has been named the Lindahl EndowedProfessor. He began extending his professionalactivities to his native China in 2006, and is now aChair Professor at Peking University where he isalso founder and director of the Center for WaterResearch. Chunmiao has produced a large bodyof impactful papers and reports, from which theaward committee recognized two works as havingsignificantly advanced the science.

In support of Chunmiao’s Meinzer Award,two works were cited (see insert). This workhighlights Chunmiao’s research related tocontaminant transport modeling. The first work is areport documenting the transport model MT3DMS(Modular 3-Dimensional Transport model withMulti-Species structure). The key features of thisexpanded version of MT3D include the addition ofa third-order total-variation-diminishing (TVD)scheme for solving the advection term, ageneralized conjugate gradient iterative solver,and the multicomponent program structure thatcan accommodate add-on reaction packages for

modeling general biological and geochemicalreations. The development of this code

The second work cited for this MeinzerAward is the popular textbook co-authored byChunmiao with Gordon Bennett.

hasfundamentally transformed the groundwaterconsulting industry by providing an open-access,user-friendly platform to construct reliabletransport models.

This textbookprovides comprehensive treatment of thefundamentals of transport modeling and isextremely well written, presenting material withexceptional clarity and at a level accessible to bothstudents and experienced practitioners.

Both the development of MT3DMS and thetextbook have provided both students andresearchers around the globe with valuable toolsfor furthering their research and education. Bothhave been cited extensively in researchpublications and MT3DMS continues to be furtherdeveloped by Zheng and other researchersworldwide. Given these vital contributions tohydrogeology Chunmiao Zheng is this year’srecipient of the GSA Hydrogeology O.E. MeinzerAward.

The 2013 O.E.Meinzer Award willbe presented toChunmiao Zheng ofboth the Universityof Alabama andPeking University atthe HydrogeologyDivision luncheon atthe Denver GSAmeeting. Chunmiaoreceived his B.S. ingeology from theChengdu College ofG e o l o g y ( n o wChunmiao Zheng

Larsen is the 2013 Recipient ofthe Kohout Early Career Award

how a parallel-drainage pattern formed and thenrapidly degraded with anthropogenic changes tosouth Florida’s hydrology. Her goal was todetermine how the landscape of flow-parallelridges and sloughs evolved to maximize bothhabitat diversity and connectivity, why it degradedin a century of man’s care, and whether flowrestoration could restore the lost functions. Herdevelopment of a reduced complexity model ofhydroecological processes has since beenadopted as a predictive management tool to guidethe Everglades restoration toward realisticpriorities.

After her Ph.D. Laurel moved to Reston,Virginia to continue her research in the USGSNational Research Program as part of theHydroecology of Flowing Waters Project. InJanuary 2013 she began as an assistant professorin Geography at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley.

Laurel specializes in understanding co-evolution of fluvial geomorphology and ecology ofriver corridors, with a focus on predictingoutcomes for biodiversity, carbon and nutrientcycling, aquatic metabolism and food webs, andattenuation of waterborn contaminants. Sheunderstands that environmental changes areextraordinarily hard to predict as hydrological andecological processes do not operate in isolation,and that consequently the degradation of valuablefunctions of a river or wetland corridor subjected todrastic flow changes cannot necessarily bereversed simply by restoring prior hydrologicconditions.

Laurel’s citationist notes that she is part of anew cadre of scientists who recognize thatcomplex environmental problems cannot besolved by subdividing them and finding separatesolutions to ‘water’ problems and ‘ecology’problems. Instead she works to advance newquantitative interdisciplinary techniques. For herwork in the fundamental advancements combiningfield research and systems modeling to solvecomplex problems in hydrology and ecology, theHydrogeology Division is proud to present Dr.Laurel Larsen with the 2013 Kohout Early CareerAward.

The 2013 Kohout Early CareerAward is presentedto Dr. Laurel G. Larsen of the Department ofGeography at the University of California Berkeley.Laurel holds an undergraduate degree fromWashington University in St. Louis, where shemajored in Systems Science and Mathematicsand Environmental Studies. She also completedher Master’s degree at Washington Universityunder the mentorship of Ray Arvidson in the Earthand Planetary Sciences Department where shestudied remote sensing of soil moisture usinginverse modeling of heat and moisture transportthrough unsaturated sediments in unvegetatedregions. Laurel received her Ph.D. from theUniversity of Colorado where she studied howwater flow sculpts landscapes and affectsecosystem function. This work was conducted inthe Florida Everglades and was motivated by

Larry Band is the Voit Gilmore DistinguishedProfessor of Geography and the Director of theInstitute for the Environment at the University ofNorth Carolina, and a Visiting Professor at theChinese Academy of Science. Band's research isin watershed ecohydrology, including the co-evolution of ecological and hydrological systems.His current research focuses in two Long TermEcological Research sites: Coweeta (NorthCarolina), and the Baltimore Ecosystem Study. In2010 he was Board Chair for the Consortium ofUniversities for the Advancement of HydrologicSciences, and was a deputy editor for WaterResources Research. Band was a visitingscientist at the Australian CRC for CatchmentHydrology in 1992-1993 and at the Bureau ofMeteorology and CSIRO in 2008, the latter onscience and management response to theAustralian drought. Band has published >130papers, book chapters and technical reports. His2014 Birdsall-Dreiss lectures will be based onresearch linking surface/subsurface flowpathdynamics with ecosystem development in forestedand urban sites.Interested institutions should contact Larry Bandat to schedule a lecture onone of the following topics:

Since the classic work by Hack andGoodlett in 1960, it has been recognized that thereis a close coupling of geomorphic, groundwater.ecosystems and soil processes in mountainouscatchments. In the southern Appalachians, forestcover provides high quality freshwater andregulates net recharge, and is in turn stronglyinfluenced by subsurface redistribution andavailability of water and nutrients. Classic

1. Critical zone processes at the watershedscale: Hydroclimate and groundwaterflowpath mediated evolution of forest canopypatterns:

experiments by Hewlett and Hibbert in lined soiltroughs fifty years ago at Coweeta HydrologicLaboratory suggested stream baseflow may besupplied by shallow subsurface throughflow,which has since been a dominant paradigm.However, deeply weathered saprolites andfracture networks may be responsible for a rangeof shallow to deeper flowpaths, resulting in distinct,observable space/time distributions of soil water,nutrients and canopy patterns. In thispresentation, we combine long-term observationsfrom Coweeta with coupled simulation ofecosystem, hydroclimate and subsurfacehydrology to explore co-evolution of critical zonehydrologic and ecosystem dynamics. The threedecade high resolution remote sensing recordconfirms distinct signatures of the response ofcatchment canopy patterns to hydroclimatechange mediated through subsurface flowpaths.

: Provision of sufficient quantitiesand quality of freshwater, treatment and disposalof wastewater, and flood protection are critical forurban sustainability. Over the last century, twomajor shifts in drainage paradigms have occurred;the first to improve public health with centralizedsanitary effluent collection and treatment, and therapid drainage and routing of stormwater. A shift isnow being implemented to retain, rather thanrapidly drain, stormwater, with a focus oninfiltration based methods shifting hydrologicbehavior to depression focused recharge. Whilestormwater is defined as surface flow resultingfrom developed areas, an integrated hydrologicsystems approach to urban water managementrequires treatment of the full critical zone,extending from the top of the vegetation andbuilding canopy, to depths including natural soils,fill, saprolite and bedrock. In addition to matric andnetwork flow in fracture systems, an urban “karst”includes multiple generations of infrastructure,with extensive supply and drainage pipe networks,enhancing surface/groundwater exchange. In thispresentation, Band will focus on the urban criticalzone, and the synthesis of modeling and analyticalapproaches to understand and plan greeni n f r a s t r u c t u r e b a s e d o nsurface/groundwater/ecosystem interactions, andimplications for the restoration and new design ofcities.

Congratulations to Darryll Pederson of theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln for being the first tocorrectly identify the location of this picture asWayne Pettyjohn’s house. Congratulations as wellto David Stephenson and Ed Harvey in alsocorrectly guessing the location.

Wayne Pettyjohn (1987 Division Chair) isstanding next to 3 piezometers located beneath acabinet in his home in Stillwater, OK. Wayne livesin an average American subdivision, with ahydrogeologically above average home. Thehome hosts 43 piezometers including three insidethe home shown in the picture. The home wasused for a number of M.S. and Ph.D. projects aswell as student training. The majority of the wellswere hand dug with an auger by students, with afew being installed using a rig. The aquifer is afractured clay that has much higher flow velocitythan would be expected than by just looking at thecore.

Our friend and colleague, Dave Diodato passedaway peacefully at 2 am on Thursday, March 14,2013, after a heroic four-year battle withamylotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Dave wasborn on July 25, 1959 in Wilmington, Delaware.He was the oldest of three children and is survivedby his mother Sally, father Pat, sister Mary, brotherRichard, and countless others whose lives heenriched.

Dave received his bachelor's degree inGeology with a minor in English in 1985 from theUniversity of Delaware, his master's degree inGeology from Penn State in 1989 and hisdoctorate in Geosciences from Penn State in1997. The culmination of his studies was adoctoral thesis titled “FracFlow96: A NumericalModel for Simulating Mulitphase Fluid Flow inFractured Porous Media with an Application atYucca Mountain, Nevada.” His expertise wasbroad and deep, covering quantitative andqualitative analysis of hydrogeologic systems,geologic and science policy aspects of nuclearwaste isolation, and the development andcommunication of national water resourcesscience policy. He was the primary author of over20 articles in peer-reviewed journals and was thefounder, designer, and webmaster of TheH y d r o g e o l o g i s t ' s H o m e p a g e(TheHydrogeologist.com).

Professional career positions included timewith Duffield and Associates, Nittany Geoscience,Argonne National Laboratory, self-employment asDavid M. Diodato HydroSolve, the U. S.Geological Survey, and the U. S. Nuclear WasteTechnical Review Board, where he finished hiscareer. One of his more recent projects was torepresent the Review Board in the Federal Green

34 Federal agencies to reduce their carbonfootprint. Dave was particularly proud to representhis agency during Green Challenge meetings atthe White House, looking the part and sharing thetable with cabinet-level representatives from otheragencies. Contributions by Dave to the professionwere recognized by the Geological Society ofAmerica, which elected him a fellow and bestowedupon him the Hydrogeology Division DistinguishedServiceAward.

Dave had a tremendous zest for life, asevidenced by the time he spent with friends, hislove of good food and beverage, listening to a widevariety of music, and driving over the speed limit.He had private pilot's license and belonged to aflying club at the Montgomery County Airpark(KGAI) in Gaithersburg, MD, from which he pilotedtrips to Puerto Rico and Ontario. A natural runner,he successfully completed both the Marine Corpsand Big Sur International Marathons. Hiking in themountains and surfing were other favoritepastimes of Dave.

During his lifetime Dave initiated andendowed two charitable funds related to theannual Geological Society of America meeting.Both seek to promote interaction betweencolleagues, especially students. These are TheDiodato Hydrogeology Student Travel and BeerFund (Geological Society of America), and theDavid Diodato Alumni Reception at GSA (a PennState event)*.

Everyone who worked with Dave knew ofhis commitments to his profession, society,friends, and family. May his memory beperpetuated by those who had the distinct privilegeto know Dave.

On Vanity

he last couple of newsletters, we had things thatwere useful to bring to the field. This time we willtalk about things that you shouldn't bring to thefield. Number one on that list is vanity. A numberof lightly-initiated hydrogeologists will go to thefield and want to look reasonably fashionable,generally to their detriment.

My father worked as a tow truck driver forthe state of Illinois and spent many a winter's daywith an overturned semi trailer in the snow. Hissaying was, “Vanity has no place in the cold.” Hewould dress like something from a bad B-movie totry to stay warm while sitting in Chicago road slush(lightly salted, generally dark grey in color) andspilled diesel fuel. I modified his saying to say that“Vanity has no place in the field.”

While in the field, you are generallybombarded by critters (bugs, snakes, cows, etc),sun, wind, precipitation, and some variety of soil.Many students will come to the field in shortsleeves, shorts, and open toe shoes in thesummer, to find themselves bit up, dehydrated andsunburned in the summer. In the winter, they won'twear a hat or suitable clothes and will be cold,frosty, and sunburned. This is compounded bypeople that don't like wearing the required safetygear because they look silly.

T

I find a discussion of vanity is quite useful inthe field to limit people's desire to look good at theexpense of useful and safe field work. If you havea truly attractive field photo illustrating the point,please send it in ;)
