Richard Bernatz is a professor of mathematics at Luther College. His primary graduate training is in computational fluid dynamics. Richard's interest in rainfall-runoff began while serving on the Decorah Planning & Zoning Commission, wherein a debate on the discharge of the 100-year flood began.

Eric Hudson is a 2004 Luther College graduate with majors in computer science and mathematics. Eric worked intensively on the Upper Iowa Rainfall-Runoff project during the summers of 2002 and 2003. His many contributions include the delineation of the entire watershed upstream from Decorah and the Java implementation of the TOPMODEL algorithm.

Eric's first employment after graduation was with Fastenal of Winona, Minnesota writing volumes of Java code. Recently, Eric moved to Iowa City and is working as a Database Administrator for the University of Iowa.

Bob Stone is a 2004 Luther College graduate. He completed majors in computer science, mathematics, and French. Bob worked on the project during the summer of 2003. His primary focus on the project was the implementation of NEXRAD Level III radar data for constructing rainfall time series. Bob is currently employed by Fastenal of Winona, Minnesota.

Ann Cary-Fisher is a 2005 Luther College graduate majoring in mathematics. Ann worked on the Upper Iowa Rainfall-runoff project during the summer of 2003. Her primary focus was charting the main channel of the river and implementing channel routing methods.

Ann began the Master of Science in Mathematics with a teaching endorsement at Portland State University in the fall of 2007.

Kai Tsuruta worked on the project during the summer of 2005. Kai's work pertained to exploring various interpolation schemes for rainfall time series construction for subcatchments. Additionally, he worked on the estimation of the 1-percent annual event.

Kai is currently a student in the Forestry Ph.D. program at the University of British Columbia and a member of the hydrology lab.

Brad Crawford graduated from Luther College in May of 2008 with a major in computer science and minors in mathematics, biology, and environmental science. His contribution to the rainfall runoff project involved the development of a plant interaction model in conjunction with the soil nitrogen budget.

Brittany Schwefel, a Luther mathematics-statistics major, worked on the development of the Neyman-Scott rectangular pulse rainfall model during the summer of 2008.

Brittany's plans for 2009 include enrolling in a Ph.D.-level statistics program.
