Dr. John Selker is a Distinguished Professor at Oregon State University, where since 1991 he has pioneered measurement and instrumentation in hydrology. John has published over 130 peer-review articles and a book, and served in leadership roles in hydrology and related instrumentation methods. Dr. Selker has consulted in hydrology, instrumentation, and the application of distributed fiber optic measurements in Europe, Africa, and North and South America. He has been involved in highly innovative measurement problems, with examples including measuring gas transport in snow, identifying seep locations in water bodies, and wireless distributed measurement systems.
Dr. Selker co-founded SelkerMetrics to advance such measurement technologies and bring them to a broader spectrum of applications and users. John holds a BA in Physics from Reed College and an MS and Ph.D. in Engineering from Cornell University. He was Editor of the world’s leading journal of water resources “Water Resources Research” of the American Geophysical Union from 2009-2013. Dr. Selker is President of Hydrology at the American Geophysical Union, a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, and has been awarded the NGWA Award for Contributions to Science and Technology.

Dr. Chris Gabrielli completed his Ph.D in watershed hydrology at the University of Saskatchewan in 2018, focusing on the control of bedrock permeability in setting the time scales over which headwater catchments store and subsequently release their water to stream channels. Dr. Gabrielli has published 9 peer reviewed manuscripts, many in leading hydrologic journals. He brings with him a wealth of field experience working with DTS and other technologies in remote locations around the world as well as analytical experience. Chris plays a key role in deployment, data collection, analysis, and presenting findings to facilitate decision making. He also holds an MS in Water Resources Engineering from Oregon State University.

Ms. Huff graduated from Oregon State University with a Masters Degree in Water Resource Engineering in 2009. Her research focused on monitoring and modeling streamwater temperature change in response to river restoration on the Middle Fork of the John Day River using fiber optic and distributed temperature sensing technology. She has expertise in calibration and analysis of distributed temperature sensing data and experience in field deployment of fiber optic cable. Julie spent the three years prior to her MS working as a design engineer for UGI Utilities Inc., a natural gas utility in Pennsylvania. She holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from Bucknell University.
