[ESSP] help choose new NS faculty!

[Steve Roof]

Students,
  Looking for a NS faculty member for your Div II or III in hydrogeology
or water science?  We've got three candidates coming to interview at
Hampshire this week and next for a new faculty position, and we'd like
your comments and feedback on each one!  Come help and help us choose the
best one!

  These folks are all researching and teaching in the broad area of water
science, including surface water resources, watershed ecosystem health,
surface water flow, groundwater toxins cleanup, etc.  See the brief
descriptions below, then come hear them speak!  Each will be giving
on either this Monday, this Wednesday, or next Monday - all at noon in CSC
333 (light lunch provided).

  You can also catch up and meet with the candidates informally around 4pm
in the CSC Lizard Lounge or later in the evening at the Wiggins Pratt
Cultural Center on the Monday or Wednesday of their visit (refreshments
provided every time).  See below and check with students Wendy Kelly
(wsk03 at hampshire.edu, x5900) or Kim McGuire (kim02 at hampshire.edu) for
specific details.



Candidates for Hydrogeology position in Natural Science:

Mon-Tues Jan 31-Feb 1 - Christine Cianfrani
  Chris is completing her degree in the Environmental Engineering Program
at Univ Vermont.  Her research focuses on quantative understanding of the
linkages between watershed conditions, fluvial morphology, and aquatic
ecosystem health.  She has applied experience in aquatic resource
management and stream restoration.  Chris will be presenting at noon
Monday Jan 31 in CSC Rm 333.  You may also meet with Chris Monday between
3:15 and 4:15 in the CSC Lizard Lounge (3rd floor, south end), or around
8pm in the Cultural Center.


Wed-Thurs Feb 2-3 - Martin Helmke
  Martin completed his dissertation at Iowa State University in Geology
and Water Resources and is currently teaching at Dickinson College.  He
studied groundwater flow through fractured till, and has applied
experience modelling, assessing, and remediating toxins (pesticides, PCE,
cattle wastes) in soil and water.  Martin will be presenting at noon
Wednesday Feb 2 in CSC Rm 333.  You may also meet with Martin Wednesday
between 3:45 and 4:45 in the Lizard Lounge, or around 8pm in the Cultural
Center.


Mon-Tues Feb 7-8 - Laura Lautz
  Laura is completing her dissertation at Syracuse University on the
interactions of stream water and groundwater and how these processes
affect water movement, water quality, and nutrient cycling through
watersheds.  She has a degree in Education from Harvard and has taught
high school science for several years.  Laura will be presenting at noon
on Monday Feb 7 in CSC 333.  You may also meet with Laura Monday between
4:15 and 5:15 in the Lizard Lounge, or around 8pm in the Cultural Center.
