\r\n\r\n\"\"D. Kip Solomon, PhD<\/strong> is a professor at the University of Utah and was formerly the chair of the Department of Geology and Geophysics. He was also appointed as the Darcy Lecturer by the National Groundwater Association and has served on numerous national committees including: National Research Council Committee on Improving Practices for Regulating and Managing Low-Activity Radioactive Waste, National Research Council Committee on Conceptual Models in Fractured Unsaturated Zones, United States Representative for various Advisory Groups at the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the editorial board for the journal Groundwater<\/em>. Dr. Solomon\u2019s research interests include the use of environmental tracers to evaluate groundwater flow and solute transport processes in local\u2011 to regional\u2011scale aquifers. He has developed the use of dissolved gases including helium-3, CFCs, and SF6<\/sub> to evaluate groundwater travel times, location and rates of recharge, and the sustainability of groundwater resources. He constructed and operates one of only a few labs in the world that measures noble gases in groundwater. His research results have been documented in more than 100 journal articles, book chapters, and technical reports.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\n\"\"Troy Gilmore, PhD<\/strong> is an Associate Professor at the University of Nebraska\u2011Lincoln. His appointments include the Conservation and Survey Division (Nebraska\u2019s Geological Survey) in the School of Natural Resources and the Biological Systems Engineering Department. He is a Faculty Fellow with the Daugherty Global Water for Food Institute and Associated Faculty with North Carolina State University. Dr. Gilmore\u2019s research interests include the use of environmental tracers, mostly in agricultural landscapes where aquifer and surface water contamination from agrichemicals is a concern. Emerging projects include image\u2011based hydrology leveraging existing archives of ground-based time-lapse imagery (gaugecam.org<\/u><\/span><\/a>\u2197). He also focuses on extension and outreach projects, for communication of scientific information to key water resources decision-makers. His research has been documented in 39 journal articles.
