There is hardly any branch of modern hydrogeology in which V. Shestakov has not made a significant impact. He was one of the Russian hydrogeologists who made a smooth transition from Darcy–Dupuit–Boussinesq-based classical groundwater dynamics into modern hydrogeodynamics and modeling. Shestakov’s work opened new possibilities and means for solving a wide range of complicated practical problems...

Teaching the concepts and fundamentals of hydrology and hydrogeology, particularly to undergraduates who have limited field experience, presents a challenge. Many innovations from working models to computer simulations have been used to improve visualization of the subject and to add a practical applied component to training. Recently, as a result of a partnership with private firms, two monito...
