Keith W. Little, Ph.D., P.E., is a consulting engineer specializing in the development and application of mathematical modeling and systems analysis methods to environmental engineering and water resources problems. Dr. Little earned a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where, in 1985, he was awarded the Bernard Greenberg Award for Excellence in Doctoral Research. This research was the genesis of the GEM software used to illustrate the concepts in this book. Since then, the GEM software has evolved in functionality and application and has been used to support risk assessment-based decision making at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Dr. Little has enjoyed a 30-year career in environmental engineering and research, including 15 years as a research environmental engineer at RTI International, where he led the environmental modeling group. He has authored numerous technical reports and articles for peer-reviewed journals. He has also been active in various professional organizations and was president of the Colorado section of the American Water Resources Association in 1995. He is currently an independent consultant in Raleigh, North Carolina.
