  Panelist Biographies

  Tom Stokely (Keynote Speaker)
  Tom Stokely is a member of the Board of Directors of the California Water Impact Network working on reducing CVP and SWP Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta exports and improving water quality through retirement of selenium-drainage problem lands in the Western San Joaquin Valley.  He recently retired after 23 years as a natural resources planner for Trinity County working on developing, adopting and implementing Bruce Babbitt's Trinity River Record of Decision.  He has implemented numerous watershed and fish passage restoration projects.  He serves on the California Advisory Committee on Salmon and Steelhead Trout advising the California Legislature's Joint Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture, as well as the California Coastal Salmon Recovery Peer Review Advisory Committee advising the Department of Fish and Game.  He recently moved to Mt. Shasta to have continual access to winter snow surveys and other local attractions.
     

  Clayton Anderson  
  Clayton began working on stream restoration projects in 1981 and on urban streams in 1991. Since then he has worked on, designed, constructed and managed hundreds of stream restoration projects throughout the urban area of Vancouver, BC, and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest.  He is a principal instructor on the multi-semester program in stream restoration at Portland
  State University.
   

  Stephanie Carlson
  Stephanie Carlson is a new Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at U.C. Berkeley. Her research focuses on the ecology and evolution of wild fish populations, particularly those subject to human influence. Current projects include evaluating the evolutionary consequences of habitat degradation on Pacific salmon, harvest-induced evolution in wild fish populations, and the importance of population diversity to long-term sustainability of salmon populations. Stephanie plans to teach courses in Fish Ecology and Aquatic Ecology.
   

  Manny DaCosta
  Emmanuel da Costa (Manny) is an environmental consulting specialist with the Alameda County Public Works Agency.   Manny has worked for Public Works for the past 10 years developing watershed plans, fisheries assessments, and creek restoration projects throughout unincorporated Alameda County.  His most notable project to date is the development of a fish ladder over the infamous "BART Weir" in Alameda Cr.  He holds a Master's degree in Aquatic Toxicology from Oregon State University. 


  Lisa Hunt
  Lisa Hunt is the water quality group director for URS Corporation, an engineering and environmental consulting firm based in San Francisco. Her specialty is ecological risk assessment of pollutants in aquatic habitats, with a focus on the San Joaquin River watershed. Current projects include: preparing the Delta Mendota Canal Recirculation Feasibility Study; evaluating the role of water quality in the pelagic organism decline (POD) in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta; assessing various treatment and management options for selenium-laden agricultural discharges; and studying the feasibility of using recycled water for streamflow augmentation.
   

  Han-Bin Liang 
  Han-Bin Liang is the founder and president of WRECO, a civil engineering consulting firm with two locations in the Bay Area. Dr. Liang has over 23 years of experience and has been involved in over 300 infrastructure and water resources projects in the State of California. In riverine hydraulics, Dr. Liang's experience includes flood control, floodplain management, storm water management, wetland restoration, sediment transport, bridge hydraulics and scour analysis, and roadway drainage.  In coastal and estuarine engineering, his principal areas of interest are wave hydrodynamics, coastal sediment processes, and coastal salt marsh restoration with a strong emphasis on numerical modeling. He obtained his masters and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. For his doctoral dissertation, he analyzed wave processes using time series analysis.
