development and adoption of improved practices for management of aquifer recharge. This is being achieved by increasing awareness of MAR among IAH members and the community, by facilitating international exchange of information between members (e.g. via a web page www.iah.org/recharge and an email list), by disseminating results of research and practical experience (e.g. via workshops, training programs, conferences and a reference database), and by undertaking joint projects and activities identified as important by its members (currently including publications on MAR strategies, creating an international inventory of MAR, and collating and reviewing international regulations relating to MAR). (More volunteers welcome!) It has a particular interest in ensuring sustainable recharge enhancement in arid and semi-arid developing countries. This AGWT workshop has obvious synergies with IAH-MAR's objectives and has led to IAH's endorsement of the workshop. Jon Arthur Hydrogeology Program Supervisor, Florida Geol. Survey, Tallahassee, FL Jon Arthur is a licensed Professional Geologist and graduate of Florida State University, where he received his B.S. with honors and Ph.D. degrees in geology. Dr. Arthur began working at the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) as a staff geologist in 1987. He currently supervises the Florida Department of Environmental Protection -FGS Hydrogeology Program and serves on numerous state and federal committees and work groups involving aquifer research and protection. His numerous research publications focus on hydrogeology and geochemistry, with emphasis on water-rock interaction during aquifer storage and recovery activities, regional hydrogeologic framework mapping, and aquifer vulnerability modeling. Dr. Arthur's professional memberships include the Geological Society of America, Southeastern Geological Society, International Association of Hydrogeologists and the Hydrogeology Consortium. He is also a member of the Florida Association of Professional Geologists, where he serves as the organization's President. Devoted to environmental stewardship, Jon is also active in geology education and outreach. He is producer of the award-winning video curriculum, Florida's Geology Unearthed, and recently co-produced Florida's Aquifer Adventure. John Lisle Microbiologist, US Geological Survey, St Petersburg, FL Dr. Lisle earned his Ph.D. from University of South Florida's College of Public Health in 1996. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Gordon McFeter's laboratory at Montana State University's Department of Microbiology and held a research professor's appointment in the Microbiology Department and NSF sponsored Center for Biofilm Engineering also at Montana State University. Dr. Lisle was employed by NASA's Astrobiology Institute at Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX where he worked as a microbial ecologist and conducted research in extreme environments, including Antarctica. In 2002 Dr. Lisle starting working with the USGS Center for Coastal and Watershed Research in St. Petersburg, FL, where he is working with federal, state and academic groups on microbial ecology issues associated with water quality and quantity in Florida. His expertise is in the use of non-culture based and molecular techniques to assess the role microorganisms play aquatic systems. David John Microbiologist, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL David is a native of the desert southwest from Arizona. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona respectively, while studying environmental microbiology. He came to Florida in 2000 to pursue a Ph.D. with Joan Rose at the College of Marine Science in the University of South Florida. The subject of his Ph.D. research has been the survival of indicator microorganisms in water and conditions that may be encountered for ASR projects in the state, with a project jointly funded by SWFWMD and SFWMD. He is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher with Dr. John Paul, still at USF's College of Marine Science, and is performing research on the genes involved in carbon fixation of marine phytoplankton. Don Thompson Vice President, CDM, Inc., Jacksonville, FL Donald M. Thompson is a Vice President with CDM and is located in the Jacksonville Florida office. Dr. Thompson has over 25 years experience in advanced water and wastewater treatment processes including membrane, ultraviolet, and ozone technologies. He currently serves as CDM's Membrane Advocate charged with overseeing CDM's efforts in membrane technology applications. Dr Thompson has previously performed treatment studies for ASR injectate water as well as indirect potable reuse projects. He has BS and MS degrees from the University of Florida and a Ph. D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Central Florida. Dr. Thompson is also a registered professional engineer in the State of Florida. David Moore Executive Director, Southwest Florida Water Management District, Brooksville, FL David L. Moore was appointed as the District's Executive Director on March 25, 2003. Mr. Moore has extensive experience in all aspects of Florida water resource management activities. He began his career at the District as a hydrologist in 1984, working his way up through the leadership ranks as a project manager, manager and director. Prior to being named the executive director, he served for 11 years as deputy executive director for the District's Division of Resource Management and Development. Mr. Moore has played a key leadership role for many of the District's critical initiatives during the past decade, including restoration and preservation projects on key water bodies such as Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay, the completion of a management approach for the Southern Water Use Caution Area, the Peace River cumulative impact assessment, the establishment of minimum flows and levels, a regional reclaimed water plan, a regional water supply plan, revisions to District permitting rules, the comprehensive watershed management initiative, and many other water resource issues. Among other activities, Mr. Moore has chaired the Sarasota Bay National Estuary Program's Management Committee and served as a member of the Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program Management Committees. He is a board member of Leadership Tampa Bay and the WateReuse Foundation, a national reclaimed water research group. He is a certified professional geologist with a bachelor's degree in geology from the College of Charleston, S.C., a master's degree in geology from the University of South Florida (USF), and a graduate certificate in public administration, also from USF.
