**About the Editor**

**Theodore Endreny** is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Resources Engineering at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF). His scholarship focuses on developing models to simulate how water, forest, and related natural resources reduce pollution and deliver ecosystem services, with the goal of guiding ecosystem restoration so that it improves human wellbeing and biodiversity. He teaches courses in engineering hydrology and hydraulics, river restoration, and urban restoration and sustainability. He is a member of the National Academies Grand Challenge Scholars Program, Engineers without Borders, provides university service for SUNY ESF, and serves on the editorial board for *nbj Urban Sustainability, Hydrological Processes*, and the *International Journal for River Basin Management*. He was the recipient of a SUNY Chancellor's Internationalization Award, a Fulbright Commission Research and Lecturer Sabbatical award to Cyprus, the SUNY ESF Undergraduate Student Association Distinguished Teacher Award, the US nomination for the IEEE GHTC Global Humanitarian Engineer of the Year, and the Fulbright Commission Distinguished Chair in Environmental Sciences at Parthenope University, Italy. His i-Tree tools research team received the Elsevier Atlas Award for "significantly impacting people's lives around the world" with an article on the value of urban forests in megacities. Endreny earned a BS in natural resources management at Cornell University and then served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in river basin management in Trujillo, Honduras, and as a research associate with the Environmental Law Institute in Washington DC. He earned his MS in soil and water engineering from North Carolina State University as a research scholar with the Environmental Protection Agency, and earned a PhD in water resources engineering from Princeton University as a research scholar with the National Aeronautics Space Administration.
