The National Academy of ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス (NAE) announced today that David R. Maidment, professor in the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム of ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス, and Bridget R. Scanlon, senior research scientist in the Jackson School of Geosciences, have been elected to the prestigious academy.

They are two of 80 new members and 22 new foreign members to join the NAE in 2016. Election to the academy is among the highest professional distinctions bestowed upon an engineer.

“We are very proud of both David and Bridget — two world-class researchers who are deserving of this honor,” said Gregory L. Fenves, president of The University of Texas at ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス and a member of the NAE. “Their election to the academy demonstrates that UT ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス faculty are continually pushing the boundaries of knowledge and truly changing the world.”

NAE membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス research and practice, including pioneering new and developing fields of technology and making major advancements in the ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス field and profession.

“Throughout his career, David has been an innovator in hydrology and water resource planning,” said Sharon L. Wood, dean of the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム of ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス and a member of the NAE. “His work developing geographic information systems has helped numerous communities, especially right here in Austin, design solutions to complex flooding problems.”

Maidment and Scanlon join a large and esteemed community of current and former UT ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス faculty members in the NAE. Since 2013, eight UT ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス engineers have been elected as new members, and the university has the fourth highest total membership among all U.S. universities.

“Bridget is one of the leading experts in the world on water resources, and her work is vitally important to help solve some of the pressing issues of the 21st century,” said Sharon Mosher, dean of the Jackson School of Geosciences. “Her ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス has helped improve the understanding of groundwater depletion worldwide and played an important part in informing U.S. water policy, as well as water policy here in Texas.”

In addition to Maidment and Scanlon, the NAE also elected two UT Austin alumni: James B. Rawlings, who received a B.S. in chemical ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス from the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム in 1979, and Jennifer L. West, who received an M.S. in 1994 and a Ph.D. in 1996 in biomedical ラーメンベット 入金ボーナス from the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム.
