Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Partnerships
Because of the strong interdisciplinary approach to both teaching and research in the Environmental and Water Studies Program, our students and faculty work closely with a number of associated faculty on the Stanford campus and with a number of off-campus research programs. The organization chart attempts to show some of these linkages. Stanford faculty with whom we have interactions include:

Aero and Astro: Dave Powell , Brian Cantwell

Geological and Environmental Sciences: Andre´ Journel, Steve Gorelick, Keith Loague, Gordon Brown, George Parks, Dennis Bird, Scott Fendorf, Don Lowe, Rob Dunbar, Adina Paytan, and Jonathan Stebbins

Geophysics: Kevin Arrigo

Biological Sciences: Joan Roughgarden, Peter Vitousek, Stephen Schneider, Mark Denny and Brendan Bohannan

Chemical Engineering: Channing Robertson

Chemistry: Keith Hodgson

Engineering Economic Systems: James Sweeney and John Weyant

Institute for International Studies: Wally Falcon, Roz Naylor, Michel C. Oksenberg and Donald Kennedy

Law: John Barton, Barton Thompson

Mathematics: George Papanicolaou

Mechanical Engineering: Peter Bradshaw, Sanjive Lele, Brian Cantwell, Reginald Mitchell, Godfrey Mungal, John Eaton, and Charles Kruger

Medical Microbiology: Abdul Matin

Petroleum Engineering: Kahlid Aziz, Margot Gerritsen, Roland Horne, Tom Hewitt, Martin Blunt, Lynn Orr , and Jane Woodward

Political Science: Jean Oi

Statistics: Paul Switzer

We are fortunate to be near neighbors of the Western Regional Headquarters of the United States Geological Survey. This proximity has led to the long-standing cooperation and collaboration with a number of scientist in the Water Resources Division of the U.S.G.S., including Ralph Cheng, James Cloern, Jim Constantz, James Davis, Ron Harvey, Sam Luoma, Frederic Nichols, Kirk Nordstrom, Ron Oremland and Jacob Rubin. We also maintain close ties with several earth scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Another important interdisciplinary program is the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford, which is a joint venture with NASA's Ames Research Center, a close neighbor of Stanford in Mountain View.

Finally, several Consulting Faculty are participants in our research and teaching activities, including Angelos Findikakis (Bechtel Corporation), Viorica Lopez-Avila (Acurex Corporation), Wayne Ott (U.S. EPA), Tom Powell (UC Berkeley), Michael Kavanaugh (ENVIRON), Yan Zang (Quantum Corp), and Francis Ludwig (SRI International).

The U.S. EPA supported Western Region Hazardous Substance Research Center also involves many collaborations with others, and especially with Oregon State University, our partner within this Center. Included are Kenneth Williamson, the Associate Center Director; Sandra Woods, Peter Nelson, Lewis Semprini, and Jack Istok in Civil Engineering; Daniel Arp and Michael Hyman in Botany and Plant Pathology; Morris Craig in Veterinary Medicine; and James Ingle and John Westall in Chemistry.
