Kent Bostick is a groundwater hydrologist in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At 43, an age when most Olympic cyclists have long since retired, he's competing in his first Olympics. He has kept up a grueling 250-mile to 500-mile-per-week training schedule while working 35 hours a week disposing of contaminants. He does a little of both work and training by riding 20 miles to his office each day. His wife Carol Ann, a racer herself, and some friends often meet up with him after work for a three- to four-hour training ride in the hills...

Middens can reveal changes in the heavens as well as on earth. That was demonstrated by hydrologist Fred Phillips of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, who checked an ancient pack-rat midden for evidence of cosmic-ray bombardment of the earth. He knew that highly energetic cosmic-ray particles create the radioisotope chlorine 36 when they strike argon atoms in the atmosphere, and that the isotope finds its way into plants and the urine of mammals, including the pack...
...believe that straightening small tributaries and lining them with concrete for stability only compounds flood problems by moving water faster. "The water down below doesn't get a chance to get out of the way before the other water is there on top of it," observes Fred Liscum, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. Levees built to protect towns can also restrict river flow, which in turn can force the waterway to crest and wash out the barriers on either bank. Says Robert Cox, Louisiana floodplain administrator: "You don't get rid of the water; you just pass...
