FRANCIS H. CHAPELLE is a research hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey in Columbia, South Carolina, and is the team leader for the USGS Microbial Studies Group in the South Carolina District. He has also been active in the movement to establish a firm, scientific basis for applying bioremediation strategies to contaminated ground-water systems. He is the 2000 recipient of the O.E. Meinzer award given by the Geological Society of America.
