The testing of the initial GeoWEPP version would have not been possible by contributions of:
Bernard A. Engel, ABE – GIS Advisor
Thomas A. Cochrane, NSERL – WEPP-TOPAZ Linkage Prototype
Roel C. Vining, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) – GeoWEPP Testing.
GeoWEPP is made possible through executables and recompiled shareware code provided by :
Jurgen Garbrecht, U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), GrazingLands Research Laboratory, El Reno, Oklahoma, and Lawrence Martz, Department of Geography, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada (TOPAZ version 3.1)
Sol Katz (stdsearc.exe) – U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
The GNU Project* (gzip.exe, tar.exe, unzip32.exe)
The ideas for the creation of the GeoWEPP project resulted out of a dissertation research funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Bonn, Germany. In this regard the GeoWEPP project leader would like to thank my his dissertation advisors:
Bernd Diekkrüger, Geographical Institutes, University of Bonn – Bonn, Germany
Jon Harbor, Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Purdue University – West Lafayette, Indiana
