Although it can be fun playing in the mud by yourself, it is
often as enjoyable to have friends and colleagues with you.
It was for this reason that in fall of 2012 I posted a message on a
couple of scientific lists that I was looking for someone(s) to play in the mud
with. The response was quick and
gratifying and within a short time I had gathered dozens and dozens of scientists and practitioners. We call ourselves the
Groundwater Wetland Study Group and I’m in very good company! The focus of the
Study Group is on seeps, springs, bogs, fens, and other groundwater-dependent
wetland systems. Our members are working
on projects from thermal wetlands in the American deserts to perched lakes in Tasmania to projects in the Mekong Delta
of Vietnam. The Study
Group is an international organization with members in Nigeria,
Romania, Brazil, Vietnam, and The United Kingdom, among a number of other places. Our
members represent government on several levels, business, environmentalists,
independents, and the academic world. The Study Group currently hosts a Yahoo Group, and is guided by a Leadership Cadre.
