Alena Mudroch, M.Sc., was a research scientist and Chief of Sediment Remediation Project at the National Water Research Institute, Environment Canada, Burlington, Ontario. Her major research interests include the characterization of aquatic sediments, defining the role of the pathways, fate, and effects of sediment-associated contaminants in aquatic ecosystems, remediation of contaminated sediments, and effects of mining on aquatic environments. She is editor and co-author of six books dealing with the above subjects.
Ulrich Stottmeister studied chemistry at Leipzig University (Dr. rer. nat. 1968). From 1970 to 1990, he was scientific coworker and Head of the Department at the German Academy of Sciences, Institute of Biotechnology Leipzig. He received his degree in biotechnology (Dr. sc. nat.) in 1986. He was Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1990. U. Stottmeister has been Head of the Department of Remediation Research of the UFZ Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig! Halle since 1992. Since 1995 he has an appointment as Professor for Biotechnology at Leipzig University, Faculty of Chemistry and Mineralogy. He is a full member of the Saxonian Academy of Sciences. His main field s of work include: microbial overproduction, industrial wastewater treatment, and remediation research in disturbed landscapes. He has published approximately 100 scientific papers injoumals and books and is coeditor of several books. Christopher Kennedy is Assistant Professor in Environmental Engineering at the University of Toronto, where he teaches courses in Groundwater, Hydrology, Hydraulics and Statistics. His research interests include subsurface contamination/remediation, recl amation of surfacemined lands and the design of sustainable urban infrastructure. He holds degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, and Imperial College, London, UK.
Helmut Klapper, now senior scientist at the Institute for Water Research Magdeburg, began his research in 1956 on applied hydrobiology: biomonitoring for classification of rivers and lakes, biological processes in groundwater enrichment, control of water pollution. At the end ofthe I 960s, he turned to research and development of ecotechnologies to combat eutrophication, e.g. deep-water delivery, hypolimnion aeration, nutrient precipitation, sediment capping with calcite; etc. Actual fieldwork includes the new forming lakes from opencast lignite mining, some of which are sulfur acidic with pH 23.5. New approaches in water quality management focus on the microbial reversal ofthe acidification by desulfurization in anoxic parts of the ecosystems. Professor Klapper has published more than 200 papers and books.
