Dr Bren is an Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. His basic training was in forestry and forestry science. He earned a PhD in the hydrology of a small mountain stream from the University of Melbourne and then taught and researched at this institution for some decades. Work included paired watershed studies, geometry of stream buffer strips and the hydrology of river red gum forests along Australia's River Murray. He lives in the Victorian provincial city of Ballarat.

Devendra Amatya (Edited By)
Dr. Devendra M Amatya has been working as a Research Hydrologist at the USDA Forest Service since 2002 after moving from North Carolina State University as a faculty member. He has nearly 30 years of experience in forest hydrology and water management research. His primary research interests are in ecohydrologic and water quality studies on low-gradient landscapes including forested wetlands and impacts on them due to increasing threats of land use change and climate variability and change including extreme events using monitoring and modeling approaches. He has made numerous invited/volunteered presentations at both professional society and scientific conferences, meetings, and symposia, nationally and internationally, and also authored/coauthored more than 250 publications in refereed journals, proceedings, book chapters, and technical bulletins/reports. He is serving on editorial boards of Journal of American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, Journal of American Water Resources Association, and Journal of South Carolina Water Resources (fomer editor).

Thomas Williams (Edited By)

He retired in 2008 after thirty-three years doing research on aspects of coastal forest hydrology. Hydrology of high-water-table soils and tidal forested wetlands has been his focus. Since retirement he has served on the Editorial board of the South Carolina Water Resources Journal

Carmen de Jong (Edited By)
