BLAND Z. RICHARDSON is a Research Forester sta- 

 tioned at the Forestry Sciences Laboratory of the In- 

 termountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, 

 Logan, Utah. After completing engineering training 

 at Yale University in 1944, Richardson was commis- 

 sioned in the United States Air Force where he 

 served as an Aircraft Engineering Officer until his re- 

 tirement from active duty in 1952. From 1952 until 

 1959, Richardson operated his own forest manage- 

 ment business in the Southern Pine region. Richeird- 

 son attended the University of Montana from 1960 

 to 1963 where he received a B.S. degree in forestry. 

 In 1964 he joined the Intermountain Forest and 

 Range Experiment Station and was assigned to re- 

 search work in the field of watershed management. 

 Since then he has been involved in a variety of re- 

 search activities in that field including studies to 

 determine the effects of multiple logging roads on 

 soil moisture regime; the hydrologic and pedologic 

 effects of grazing on rangelands; the infiltration and 

 erosional behavior of contour trenches on high eleva- 

 tion mountain watersheds; and the effects of voids 

 and measurement techniques on the accuracy of 

 neutron soil moisture determination. In 1966 

 Richardson was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the 

 USDA Forest Service. Other schools attended include 

 the Air University; Arlington State College; Texas 

 Christian University; and Utah State University. 



EDWARD R. BURROUGHS, JR., joined the watershed 

 management research staff of the Intermountain Sta- 

 tion in Missoula, Montana, in 1960 with a B.S. degree 

 in Forestry from the University of Montana and a 

 B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from Montana State 

 University. Burroughs received his M.S. degree in 

 Civil Engineering from Montana State University in 

 1967 while serving as Research Hydraulic Engineer 

 with the Streamflow Regulation Project in Moscow, 

 Idaho. In 1968, Burroughs was reassigned as Re- 

 search Hydraulic Engineer with the Southern Forest 

 Experiment Station on the Coastal Plain Hydrology 

 Project at Oxford, Mississippi. Burroughs received his 

 Ph.D. in Watershed Sciences from Colorado State 

 University in 1971, transferred to the Bureau of 

 Land Management, and is presently the Oregon State 

 Office Hydrologist in Portland, Oregon.
