Bedient receives C. V. Theis Award
 Philip B. Bedient, the Herman and George R. Brown Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has received the prestigious C.V. Theis Award for 2007 from the American Institute of Hydrology.
Bedient's research focuses on surface and groundwater hydrology, flood alert systems, sensor and radar networks, flood control and water quality strategies, hydrologic modeling, floodplain management, contaminant transport mechanisms in groundwater, and aquifer remediation strategies and modeling.
He is best known for developing and applying the Bioplume II model for biodegradation mechanics in the subsurface, and co-authored a textbook, Groundwater Contamination: Transport and Remediation, published in 1999.
Bedient has taught at Rice since 1975, and served as department chair from 1992 to 1999.
The C. V. Theis Award was established in 1986 to recognize those who make outstanding contributions to ground-water hydrology. The AIH presented Bedient with the honor at its annual meeting and international conference in Reno, Nevada, April 22-25.
