Marx</B></div> <div> <I>Chief Scientist</I></div> <div> <B>Mycorrhizae and Soils</B></div> <div> Dr. Marx is a world renown authority on mycorrhizal fungi and their practical</div> <div> application. His is the 1991 recipient of the prestigious Marcus Wallenberg Prize awarded by the King of Sweden (considered the Nobel Prize in Forestry) for his international work on mycorrhizae for improved tree establishment on degraded land with the USDA Forest Service. For the past 40 years, Dr. Marx has pioneered the practical use of mycorrhizal fungi on native trees, forbs and grasses to solve problems in the reclamation/reforestation of mined land and other degraded sites.  He has conducted field research in cooperation with several state AML programs, federal agencies and private mining companies to revegetate adverse sites, such as mined-lands, pollution-damaged sites like Copper Basin, Tennessee, borrow pits and other severely eroded sites. <I><B> Dr. Marx's scientific and practical experience on the natural approach to reclamation programs is now available to PHC-REC clients.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Dr. Scott Kenner</B><B>,</B><B> Ph.D., P.E.</B></div> <div> <I>Senior Hydrologist/Engineer </I></div> <div> <B>Geomorphology/ Hydrology/ Mine Land Reclamation Design</B></div> <div> Dr. Kenner has extensive experience in geomorphology and hydrology studies, sedimentation and erosion features and designs, surface mining and mine land reclamation design, and drainage and flood control designs.  Regarding Surface Mining, Dr. Kenner designed a determination of hydraulic consequences of haul road, sedimentation ponds, and a diversion channel in Florence, CO. For the office of Surface Mining, he designed a manual for the control of surface runoff through sedimentation ponds in the Navajo Mine located in Farmington, NM.  His experience also includes an analysis and preliminary design of erosion and scour protection for the Redlands Parkway Bridge, Grand Junction, Co.  He's also done analysis in erosion protection, sedimentation, and hydraulics in Phoenix and Tucson, AZ. as well as in Alamo WA. Regrading Flood and Drainage control, he was in charge of flood insurance studies for the Arkansas River in Basin, CO. as well as completing a preliminary design and analysis of flood control and drainage improvements in Lafayette, CO.  Dr. Kenner was responsible for designing a master plan for storm drainage in Upper Westerly Creek in Aurora, CO.  Dr. Kenner is associated with numerous professional affiliations including the American Society of Engineers, the Water Environment Federation, the American Water Resources Association, the American Geophysical Union, and the National Society of Professional Engineers.  He has been recognized for his numerous publications for the US Office of Surface Mining, the South Dakota Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, the Florida Department of Transportation, and the University of Florida, Gainesville.  Dr. Kenner is incredibly qualified for any type of analysis and design for PHC-REC clients and is a prominent figure in our reports, reviews, and evaluations.  </div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
