Darryl E. Carlyle-Moses is an Associate Professor, Program Advisor, and former Chair,Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. He received his Honours Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Toronto at Mississauga in 1994 and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1996 and 2002, respectively. His research interests lie within the realm of ecohydrology and micrometeorology with a focus on vegetation-atmosphere-water interactions. More specifically, Dr. Carlyle-Moses' research aims to better understand the biotic and abiotic mechanisms that govern precipitation partitioning by vegetation canopies, to evaluate and improve upon models used to simulate these water stores and fluxes, and to determine the linkages between plant-water interactions and terrestrial hydrological processes. Increasingly, his research is geared towards the application of trees as urban green infrastructure and the potential stormwater mitigation services trees may provide. Dr. Carlyle-Moses is a member of several professional organizations including the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, the American Geophysical Union, and the European Geosciences Union.

Shin'ichi Iida

Shin'ichi Iida is a Senior Researcher, Department of Disaster Prevention, Meteorology and Hydrology, at Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute, Tsukuba, Japan. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Tsukuba in 1998 and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Tsukuba in 2000 and 2003, respectively. His research interests involve hydrologic processes in forest ecosystems. Dr. Iida focuses on precise measurements of the components of evapotranspiration in temperate and tropical forests, and their changes due to the succession and various forest management strategies, including thinning. Three particular foci are the evaluation of the intrastorm scale dynamics of interception process, quantification of transpiration, and calibration of both interception and transpiration measurements. Dr. Iida's research evaluates the effects of climate change on the hydrologic cycle in forested watersheds by analyzing long-term measurements of all components ofe
