About the Authors <br />Professor Lee H. MacDonald <br />Department of Forest, Rangeland, and Watershed Stewardship <br />Colorado State University <br />Fort Collins, CO 80523 -1470 <br />Tel. 970 - 491 -6109; fax 970 - 491 -6307 <br />leemac@cnr.colostate.edu <br />www.cnr. colostate.edu /frws/ people / faculty /macdonald/macdonald.html <br />Dr. MacDonald is professor of land use hydrology in the Watershed Science Program at Colorado State University. He <br />takes a process -based approach to analyzing the effects of land use on runoff and erosion, and how these changes af- <br />fect streams and wetlands. Dr. MacDonald has a broad academic background, including a B.S. in human biology from <br />Stanford University, a M.S. in resource ecology from the University of Michigan, and a Ph.D. in forest hydrology from <br />the University of California at Berkeley. At CSU he has published six major monographs and more than 40 scientific <br />articles on a variety of land use issues, including how forest management activities affect runoff and erosion; hillslope <br />and wetland hydrology; effects of wild and prescribed fires on runoff and erosion; cumulative watershed effects; road <br />erosion; and monitoring the effects of land management activities on streams. His diverse work experience includes <br />setting up research and training programs in developing countries for the United Nations University, working as a hy- <br />drologist for the U.S. Forest Service, consulting for a wide variety of public and private organizations, and a one -year <br />post - doctoral position at the Center for Streamside Studies at the University of Washington. <br />Professor John D. Stednick <br />Department of Forest, Rangeland, and Watershed Stewardship <br />Colorado State University <br />Fort Collins, CO 80523 -1470 <br />Tel. 970 - 491 -7248; fax 970 - 491 -6307 <br />jds@cnr.colostate.edu <br />Dr. Stednick is a professor of watershed science at Colorado State University. His area of expertise is the under- <br />standing of land use effects on water quality and quantity. He earned a B.S in Forest Sciences and a Ph.D. in Forest <br />Resources, both from the University of Washington. Teaching experiences include both undergraduate and graduate <br />courses and professional courses for federal land managers. Recently - funded research projects include: the effects of <br />fire on water resources at different spatial and temporal scales; effects of coalbed methane water discharge on soils <br />and downstream water quality, conjunctive use effects on water quality; and the applicability of nutrient standards to <br />streams in the Southwest. Before coming to CSU he worked as a U.S. Forest Service hydrologist in Alaska, with other <br />professional experiences as a commercial fisherman, fire fighter, EMT, and logger. <br />vu <br />
