PROMINENT ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
Robert A. (Bob) Gearheart (born 1938) is an emeritus professor of
Environmental Engineering at Humboldt State University, in Arcata,
California.
Dr. Gearheart teaches courses in environmental impact assessment,
hazardous waste management and water quality management.
His research interests include water and wastewater treatment, using
appropriate technology, including constructed wetlands. He is also involved
with a number of public and private sector agencies providing support for
water supply facilities in developing countries, such as Indonesia, Kenya,
Ghana, and Sierra Leone.
Dr. Gearheart has been involved with the development of Arcata's
Integrated Wetland and Wastewater Treatment Facility and the Arcata Marsh.
He continues to be active in ongoing research as the Arcata Marsh grows and
matures. The Arcata Marsh serves as a sewage treatment plant, a recreation
area, a wildlife sanctuary and aquaculture project. It is a good example of
humans working in cooperation with the environment.
Dr. Gearheart received his B.A. in Biology and Mathematics from the
University of North Texas, and his M.S. and Ph. D. in Civil Engineering from
the University of Oklahoma.
Paul V. Roberts (November 27, 1938 - February 2006) was a
prominent environmental engineer. Paul Roberts graduated with a B.S.
degree in chemical engineering from Princeton University in 1960, and
received a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from Cornell University in
1966.
Paul Roberts was a pioneer in applying fundamental principles of mass
transport and chemistry to engineered environmental systems. His broad
body of work spans such topics as reclaimed wastewater, drinking water
disinfection, adsorption and volatilization of organic contaminants during
water and wastewater treatment, contaminant transport in groundwater, and
multiphase flow in porous media. He is perhaps best known for conceiving
and directing the first and probably the most definitive field study ever
conducted on the movement and fate of hazardous chemicals in groundwater
at the Borden site in Canada. In this study, his team clearly demonstrated the
scientific value of carefully designed large-scale field experiments to test
hypotheses, to validate mathematical models, to generate understanding of
