About the Editors

David L. Naftz is a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological

Survey in Salt Lake City, Utah. He received his Ph.D. from
the Colorado School of Mines in geochemistry. He began his
professional career with the Wyoming Department of
Environmental Quality in 1983. Since joining the U.S. Geo-
logical Survey in 1984, Dr. Naftz has worked on a variety
of water-quality research projects throughout the Rocky
Mountain States. His applied research topics during the past 17 years have
included water-quality impacts from coal and uranium mining, reservoir
construction, irrigation drainage, oil and gas recovery, atmospheric depos-
ition, and explosives. Dr. Naftz began his field-oriented research on perme-
able reactive barriers in 1996.

Stan J. Morrison is a geochemist and manager of the Environ-

mental Sciences Laboratory (ESL) in Grand Junction, Color-
ado. MACTEC Environmental Restoration Services manages
the ESL for the U.S. Department of Energy. He worked as
a uranium exploration geologist from 1975 through 1982
^ ^fk-y^ and received his Ph.D. in geochemistry from the University
of Utah in 1986. His post-doctoral work on contaminant
transport in streambeds was completed in 1987. Since 1987, Dr. Morrison has
been at the ESL where he investigates the migration and remediation of
groundwater contamination focusing on metals and radionuclides. He has
conducted research on permeable reactive barriers since 1991 and was the
technical lead on several field applications of this technology.

Christopher C. Fuller is a hydrologist with the National Re-

search Program of the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park,
California. He received his M.S. from the University of South-
ern California in geochemistry. He began his professional
career as a research technician in marine geochemistry at the
University of Southern California. After joining the U.S. Geo-
logical Survey in 1982, Mr. Fuller has worked on a variety of
field and laboratory aqueous geochemistry research studies. His research
topics during the past 20 years have included geochemical processes affecting
metal transport in mine-contaminated streams, laboratory and spectroscopic
characterization of metal-ion sorption on mineral surfaces, and use of envir-
onmental radioisotopes for sediment chronology. Fuller began his research
on permeable reactive barriers in 1996.

James A. Davis is a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological

Survey in Menlo Park, California. He received his Ph.D.
from Stanford University in environmental engineering and
sciences and did post-doctoral study at the Swiss Federal
Institute for Water Resources. He began his professional
career with the U.S. Geological Survey in 1980 and has
worked on research projects involving the fate and transport
of metal contaminants throughout the United States and in Canada, Costa
Rica, and Australia. His research interests include mineral/water interface
geochemistry, the coupling of hydrologic and geochemical models, fate and
transport of radionuclides, and the spectroscopic characterization of
amorphous mineral phases and contaminants at mineral surfaces.
