Stream and river ecology has been an exceptionally vibrant and rapidly evolving science since the first edition of "Methods in Stream Ecology", which was published in 1996. The first, second, and third editions have grown with the science and have directly influenced and assisted in the development of stream ecology as a major discipline. Each chapter that has carried over into the new edition has been updated significantly according to new knowledge. “Methods in Stream Ecology, 4th edition” contains new chapters as new methods and techniques have developed to expand on new research questions and ideas, while some chapters from the previous editions were eliminated or combined to reflect current trends. The new edition provides updated information regarding freshwaters as vital to sustaining biodiversity and human well-being, and streams and rivers as dynamic features from an ecological perspective. “Methods in Stream Ecology, 4th edition” is as an integral part of moving stream and river ecology forward over the next several decades continuing to provide essential guidance to students, teachers, and stream ecologists offering both teaching and research resources.

F. Richard Hauer
F. Richard (Ric) Hauer, is Director of the University of Montana’s Center for Integrated Research on the Environment (CIRE) and Professor of Stream Ecology at the Flathead Lake Biological Station where he taught Stream Ecology for >25 years. His major research interests encompass the broad, interdisciplinary field of ecosystem ecology with focus on freshwaters, especially running waters and gravel-bed river floodplains and wetlands. The breadth of his research spans from physical processes of sediment transport and groundwater/surface water interactions to aquatic insect life histories and ecosystem assessment. He is particularly interested in the application of remotely sensed data to understanding biophysical processes of floodplain ecology. To this end, he pilots his own airplane in the acquisition of digital imagery used to evaluate the landscape scale linkages between hydrology, geomorphology and ecology in river and floodplain ecosystems. Dr. Hauer has conducted his research around the eastern Pacific-rim from Alaska to Patagonia; his primary research site being the transboundary Crown-of-the-Continent Ecosystem and the Flathead River of Montana and British Columbia. While it was the fascination with aquatic invertebrates, especially caddisflies, that captured his interest, it has been his love for streams and rivers as disproportionately important components of biodiversity of mountain landscapes that has maintained that passion. Dr. Hauer has published >100 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals such as Science, Science Advances, BioScience and Freshwater Science. In addition to his personal research, he has served at the national level in developing environmental policy and implementation of environmental assessment in the Clean Water Act working with both the US Army Corps of Engineers and the US EPA. Ric is past-President of the international scientific society “Society for Freshwater Science.” At the University of Montana, Hauer held the Stream Ecology Endowed Chair at Flathead Lake Biological Station from 2000-2016 and received the university’s Distinguished Scholar Award in 2011. He is founding director of the university’s interdisciplinary sciences graduate program, Systems Ecology.

Gary Lamberti
Dr. Gary A. Lamberti is Professor of Biological Sciences and Director of the Stream and Wetland Ecology Laboratory (SWEL) at the University of Notre Dame, where he teaches Biostatistics, Stream Ecology, Restoration Ecology, and a variety of topical graduate courses. His major research interests include (1) food web ecology of streams and wetlands, ranging from microbes to fish; (2) the ecology of native and introduced Pacific salmon; and (3) the impacts of climate change, toxins, and invasive species on aquatic ecosystem function. He retains a fundamental love for aquatic invertebrates, which permeates all of his research. He has also successfully advised 27 M.S. and Ph.D. students to completion and countless undergraduates have conducted research in his laboratory. Dr. Lamberti has over 175 publications dealing with various aspects of aquatic ecology, and has co-edited the Elsevier book entitled Methods in Stream Ecology, now in its 3rd edition. At Notre Dame, he also directs the GLOBES Graduate Certificate Program in Environment and Society. Dr. Lamberti is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and past-President of the Society for Freshwater Science, an international society of aquatic ecologists.

Jennifer L. Tank
Dr. Jennifer L. Tank is the Ludmilla F., Stephen J., and Robert T. Galla Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. In addition, since 2016, she has led the Notre Dame Environmental Change Initiative (ND-ECI) as the center’s Director; ND-ECI serves as a hub cutting-edge, interdisciplinary, environmental research at the university. She teaches courses in Stream Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry. Her major research interests include (1) the biogeochemistry of streams and rivers and the effect of human activities on ecosystem function; (2) the influence of agricultural land use, conservation practices, and restoration on water quality; (3) the effect of climate change on streams and rivers in the high-arctic; (4) using experimental streams to understand controls on particle, environmental DNA (eDNA), and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) transport. Dr. Tank considers mentoring to be one of the best parts of her role at Notre Dame. She has successfully advised >20 M.S and Ph.D. students to completion and numerous undergraduates have conducted research in her laboratory. Dr. Tank has ~200 publications covering a wide range of topics in stream biogeochemistry and ecosystem ecology. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, serves on the NASEM Water Science & Technology Board, and is a Fellow and Past-President of the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS), an international society of aquatic ecologists. Dr. Tank is also an Associate Editor for the journal Biogeochemistry and for Limnology and Oceanography Letters. Her achievements have also been recognized through the Environmental Stewardship Award from SFS, the Ruth Patrick Award from the Association for Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), and the Hoosier Resilience Hero Award recognizing 10 Indiana residents who are working to make the state more resilient in the face of environmental change.

Robert O. Hall
Robert O. Hall is Distinguished Professor of Limnology at Flathead Lake Biological Station, University of Montana, where he has worked since 2017. Prior to that he was on the faculty at University of Wyoming where he started in 1998. Since graduate school at University of Georgia he has been interested in stream carbon cycling and food webs, but with a career trajectory of studying ever larger rivers. Current work links geomorphology to stream metabolism and nitrogen cycling, time-series analyses of river metabolism, food webs, isotope tracers, statistical modeling, and dissolved organic and inorganic carbon dynamics in rivers. Teaching includes a field-based summer course on stream ecology taught on the Middle Fork Flathead, and graduate course on ecological modeling and data.
