Best Scientific Paper by a New USGS Scientist Award
Dr. Dianna Hogan, a research physical scientist in the Eastern Geographic Science Center, is the first recipient of the Geography Discipline's Best Scientific Paper by a New USGS Scientist Award for 2007.
This is one of two annual awards that Geography has instituted
to acknowledge individual scientists for their contribution to
geographic science through published, peer-reviewed manuscripts.
Dr. Hogan shares the award with her co-author Dr. Mark Walbridge,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service.
Their paper entitled “
Best Management Practices for Nutrient and Sediment Retention in Urban Stormwater Runoff” was published in the Journal of Environmental Quality (Vol 36: 386-395, 2007) and contributes substantially to our knowledge of the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) structures in urban environmental settings.
