DeJong and Thorvaldson Selected for CWRRI Fellowships for 2006 -2007 Graduate students Jennifer Thorvaldson and Kathleen DeJong were selected as Colorado Water Re- sources Research Institute (CWRRI) Graduate Fellows for 2006 -2007. These graduate students submitted proposals to the Fellowship competition of CWRRI, and their propsoals were selected by the Advisory Committee on Water Research Policy at the regular November meeting. Both Fellows are continuing projects begun last year under the auspices of CWRRI. The funding for this fellowship comes from the base funding from USGS for water research institutes. Those proposals were due on January 15, 2006 and official notification of the award is expected by March 1. DeJong is a Ph.D candidate at Colorado School of Mines (CSM). Her project, "Occurrence and Fate of Pharmaceuticals, Endocrine Disrupting Compounds and other Organic Wastewater Contaminants in On- site Wastewater Systems and Implications for Water Quality Management' ' addresses the issue of emerg- ing contaminants, and is in progress under the supervision of Dr. Robert Siegrist at CSM. Thorvaldson, from Colorado State University (CSU) is a master's candidate who will continue working on her project "Colorado's Evolving Irrigated Agriculture: Economic Accounting Impact Analysis" as she begins doctoral studies. The project explores the economic impacts of the reduction of irrigated agricul- ture on rural communities in Colorado. Eric Schuck (CSU) is the advisor for Thorvaldson's work. Correction On page 5 of the the December issue of Colorado Water, the byline incorrectly identified co- author Da- vid M. Merritt. Dr. Merritt is a research scientist affiliated with the Natural Resource Ecology Labo- ratory, the Rocky Mountain Research Station, and the United States Forest Service. Colorado is fortunate to have two David Merritts working in water, and we incorrectly attributed authorship to the David Merritt from the Colorado River Water Conservation District.
