ORGASIZATION OF THE DIRECTORY 



Each volume is divided into three sections. Section I contains five 

 tables: an alphabetized listing of scientists and four cross-reference 

 tables. Section I describes only the scientists within one region. 



Section II contains data about 150 scientists who are citizens of 

 iiLher nations. Section II contains five tables also. 



Section III contains data about 175 organizations that wished to be 

 included in this directory. 



In the following discussion, the regional data (Section I) will be 

 first described, followed by comments on Sections II and III which provide 

 uniform information in all of the regional volumes. 



SECTION I - ORGANIZATION OF REGIONAL DATA 



The largest amount of data in each directory volume consists of five 

 tables describing the individuals who are located in the states of that 

 region. Figure 1, Composition of Regional Directories, shows states which 

 are included in each of the nine regional volumes. 



Table 1 - Respondents (Alphabetical Listing ) 



This is the largest of the five tables and the most detailed. It 



contains sixteen data elements which describe the respondent. The listing 



Is in alphabetical order for all respondents within that region to facilitate 

 use of the cross-reference tables. 



The last data element in Table 1 is the information provided by the 

 respondent which indicates the number of days (per month) that the respondent 

 estimates he/she would be able to work in 1973. Separate entries are shown 

 for tlie academic year and summer, coded A (Academic year) and S (summer). 



Cross-Re ference. Tables 



Tables 2 through 5 are cross-reference tables designed to facilitate 

 the location of a scientist who best meets the needs of the Corps of 

 Engineers. Depending upon the nature of the problem that is being addressed, 

 one or another of these tables provides the best starting point to begin 

 to locate the scientist. 



Table 2 - Competence in Ecosystem Management 



Table 2 gives the respondent's competence in ecosystem analysis, and 

 present location (state), and is best used as an entry to the directory 

 when the type of managed or natural system , pollutant or process is of 

 prime importance to the user. The table provides only the names of 

 respondents who have indicated their highest competence with reference to 

 the topics mentioned.
