Use of the Cross-Re ference Tables 



In summary, tlie basic listing (Table 1) and four reference tables 

 may be used individually but are more often used in conjunction with one 

 another, depending upon which are the key "search variables" for the user. 

 The fol]owing short decision rules may be helpful: 



I'able 1 is used when : the individual's name is known. 



Table 2 is useful when an ecosystem or pollutant is key variables. 



Tabic 3 i s use lu I u-hen a key word, species, project, research 



topic or particular place is important. 



Tab 1 e 4 is useful \si!ieii environmental impact experience is 



important . 



Table 5 is useful when discipline or geographic familiarity is 



important (rather than present location). 



SECTION II - RESPONDENTS FROM OTHER NATIONS 



This section in each regional directory volume is identical in all 

 volumes. Approximately eight percent of the total responses to the survey 

 were submitted by persons located outside of the USA, with about half of 

 these being submitted by Canadians. Since the regional organization of the 

 nine volumes is not compatible with resource persons outside of the USA, 

 it was decided to include these individuals in each volume of the directory, 

 provided that tliey me L the internal criteria for inclusion in this publication 

 (Interest In working with the Corps of Engineers or all Federal agencies). 



Tlie international section of each directory is organized in the same 

 manner as the regional data with a basic listing and four reference tables, 

 A few U. S. scientists are included in this section because of temporary 

 location outside of the USA, residence in 11. S. territories or through the 

 respondent's failure tn indicate a complet'^ -JSA address, 



SECTION III - ORGANIZED GROUPS. PRIVATE FIRMS OR SCIENTIFIC TEAMS 



The TIE survey was primarily directed to individual life scientists 

 located in academic institutions. It became apparent that there were a 

 number of organized groups, whose members had responded to the survey, which 

 could be help as organized groups . The characteristics of such groups 

 could not be expressed in a survey designed for individuals. Since the 

 capacities of such groups were also of interest to TIE and OCE, a supple- 

 mentary questionaire was designed and circulated to individuals who indicated 

 that they were associated with such groups. From these responses, a 

 brief abstract was prepared, and all these data are included in Section III 

 of each directory volume. Note, that individuals within such groups are 

 accessible through the reference tables in Section I but these tables do 

 not show any data about the group.
