  Individuals

Suzanne B. Bricker		National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
		Suzanne Bricker works at NCCOS in Silver Spring, Maryland. She was the lead scientist in the U.S. National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment study (NEEA), which provided a integrated framework for eutrophication assessment and carried out a comprehensive overview of 138 estuaries in the United States.
Robert W. Buddemeier		Kansas Geological Survey
		Robert W. Buddemeier works in the Geohydrology Section at the Kansas Geological Survey and is a Courtesy Professor at the University of Kansas. His research interests include hydrologic systems, water and other resource assessment, climate change, coastal & marine systems studies, coral reefs and atoll island environments.
Joao G. Ferreira		IMAR - Institute of Marine Research, Portugal
		João Gomes Ferreira works at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in Lisbon, and is currently on the board of IMAR. His research interests include eutrophication modeling, the development of screening models for management, and scaling issues related to the use of complex models.
Doug Lipton		University of Maryland
		Doug Lipton has been a marine resource economist in the Department of Agricultural & Resource Economics, University of Maryland College Park since 1989.  His research focus is on the economic costs and benefits of water quality improvements, particularly related to commercial and recreational fishing.
Andrew Mason		National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
		Andrew Mason is a Research Assistant at NOAA. He holds a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences and has worked on the application of ASSETS to some US estuarine systems. His research interest is in development of a human use indicator to complement the ASSETS eutrophication indices.
Bruce Maxwell		Swarthmore College
		Bruce Maxwell works and teaches at the Department of Engineering at Swarthmore College. His research interests include computer vision and graphics, robotics, speech recognition, typology development and visualization for large multi-variable scientific data sets. He was the lead developer of the web clustering tools, LoiczView and DISCO.
Alice Newton		IMAR - Institute of Marine Research, Portugal
		Alice is a chemical oceanographer and a professor at the University of Algarve. Her special interest is nutrient dynamics and particularly comparing  anthropogenic eutrophication in shallow coastal systems to natural eutrophication in coastal upwelling systems. She lectures on eutrophication in European Masters programmes and coordinates the European Master in Water and Coastal Management.
Ana Nobre		IMAR - Institute of Marine Research, Portugal
		Ana Nobre is an IMAR Research Associate. She holds an B.Sc. in Environmental Engineering, and has worked on the application of ASSETS to a number of EU estuarine and coastal systems.
Teresa Simas		IMAR - Institute of Marine Research, Portugal
		Teresa Simas is an IMAR Research Associate. She holds an M.Sc. in Marine Sciences, and has worked on the application of ASSETS to a number of EU estuarine and coastal systems. She has a research interest in benthic symptoms of coastal eutrophication, in particular the relative distribution of seaweeds, seagrasses and saltmarsh vegetation under different conditions of nutrient enrichment.
Stephen V. Smith		CICESE - Centro de Inv. Científica y de Educación Sup. de Ensenada
		Stephen V. Smith is a researcher at the Centro de Investigacion Cientifica y de Educacion Superior de Ensenada and is Professor Emeritus at the University of Hawaii. His research interests include land ocean interactions in the coastal zone and man’s influence on biogeochemicophysical and socioeconomic aspects of coastal ecosystems.
Terry Whitledge		University of Alaska, School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences
		Terry Whitledge works and teaches at the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. He was the author of the first Nationwide review of oxygen depletion and eutrophication in US estuaries and coastal water bodies in the 1980s and was instrumental in the design and implementation of the U.S. National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment study (NEEA) acting as Muse throughout the project.
