Andy
D. Ward, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, The Ohio State University and member of the faculty since 1986. As a child he lived in Zambia and Zimbabwe. He then spent two years in Switzerland before completing his final two years of high school in Southend-on-Sea, England. In 1971, he obtained a B.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering from Imperial College, London, England. He then worked as an engineer on a construction project in London and as a school teacher in New York City. In 1977 and 1981, Andy obtained an M.S. and Ph.D. respectively in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Kentucky. He then worked for three years with an international consulting company in South Africa before joining The Ohio State University.
Dr. Ward is a registered professional engineer and a member of
the American Society of Agricultural Engineering and the Soil and
Water Conservation Society. He has authored more than 100 manuscripts
and coauthored, with John Lyon et al., a paper that received the
1994 Autometric Award from the American Society of Photogrammetry
and Remote Sensing for the best interpretation of remote sensing
data.
Dr. Ward has provided leadership to the development of several
hydrologic computer programs including the WASHMO storm hydrograph
model, the DEPOSITS reservoir sedimentation model, and the ADAPT
agricultural water quality model. He has 25 years of international
experience in the areas of watershed hydrology, stream geomorphology,
reservoir sedimentation, modeling hydrologic systems, drainage,
soil erosion, water quality, and the development and implementation
of techniques to prevent or control adverse impacts of land use
changes on water resources, streams and drainage networks. Together
with his graduate students he has also conducted research on remote
sensing applications in agriculture and hydrology.
Dr. Ward is an advocate of student-centered learning and in his
courses he incorporate teamwork, solving real world problems, applying
engineering and scientific judgment, and enhancing communication
skills. Andy is an avid recreational jogger and has completed 22
marathons or ultra-marathons including the 56 mile Comrades Marathon.

Stanley W. Trimble, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Geography at UCLA and a member of the faculty since 1975. His interests include historical geography of the environment and especially human impacts on hydrology including soil erosion, stream and valley sedimentation, and stream flow and channel changes. His regional interests are the humid U.S. and western and central Europe. In 1963, Stan received a B.S. in chemistry from the University of North Alabama. Taking an Army ROTC commission, he spent two years as an Intelligence Research Officer and served with the 101st Airborne Division 1964-65. After a year teaching in Europe, he earned the M.A. (1970) and Ph.D. (1973) in Geography at the University of Georgia.
Dr. Trimble was a research hydrologist (adjunct appointment) with
the US Geological Survey from 1973-84, and a visiting professor
at the Universities of Chicago (1978, 1981, 1990), Vienna (1994,
1999), Oxford (1995), London (University College, 1985), and Durham
(1998). Currently he is the joint editor of CATENA, an Elsevier
international journal of soils, hydrology, and geomorphology. He
has also taught courses in environmental geology/hydrology for
the US Army Corps of Engineers and he is a hydrologic/geomorphologic
consultant for several agencies. His research awards include a
Fulbright to the United Kingdom and Stan has more than 100 publications,
ranging from several in Science to one in The Journal
of Historical Geography and some of his research work appears
in this book. Recently, he served on the National Research
Council Committee on Watershed Management.
Dr. Trimble believes in student-centered learning and giving
his students as much hands-on and problem-oriented learning as
possible with a lot of written work. Stan's outside interests
are music, classical and early American architecture, and English
landscape gardens.
