Mary C. Hill is a research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Boulder, Colorado. She authored MODFLOWP and the popular PCG2 solver for MODFLOW, and articles on solvers, nonlinear regression, confidence intervals, and calibration methodology. She co-authored UCODE and MODFLOW-2000. She has experience modeling saltwater intrusion, groundwater supply, stream interaction, and regional groundwater flow and transport beneath the Yucca Mountain proposed USA high-level nuclear waste site. She has taught semester and short courses for 24 years. She received the 2000 American Society of Civil Engineers Huber research prize, the 2001 National Ground Water Association Darcy lectureship, and is president of the ICGW of IAHS. Dr. Hill holds a PhD in Civil Engineering from Princeton University.
Howard W. Reeves is a research hydrologist at the USGS in Lansing, Michigan. He developed new methods to simulate multi-phase flow and has extensive experiences in calibrating transport models using UCODE and SUTRA. He has taught semester and short courses for 12 years. Dr Reeves holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Michigan.
Frank J. C. Smits works as a consultant with Witteveen+Bos in Deventer, the Netherlands. He has experience in the simulation of surface- and groundwater- systems using Duflow, Sobek, MicroFem and other computer programs, and has pursued parameter estimation and uncertainty evaluations using PEST. He has taught short courses in recent years and holds a Masters in Hydrology from the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam.
