Dr. Fritz Stauffer is a senior research officer and lecturer in groundwater and hydromechanics. He was born on January 3, 1947 and he is Swiss citizen. He studied Rural Engineering at ETH Zurich, where he obtained his diploma in 1971. Also from ETH Zurich he received his doctorate in 1977 under the supervision of Professor T. Dracos in the field of unsaturated flow in porous media. Since 1981 he has been teaching courses in groundwater at ETH Zurich and has been involved in numerous research activities. He organised a series of 20 international scientific Short Courses in Groundwater Management and several international Symposia. In 1996 he was visiting scholar at Stanford University. After his habilitation in 1998, he was granted the Venia Legendi. In 2001 he was awarded the title of Professor by ETH Zurich. His research interest is in flow and contaminant transport in groundwater including the capillary zone. Apart from using experimental techniques, he mainly focuses on mathematical modelling as well as geostatistics and stochastic modelling. Currently he studies flow and transport processes in highly heterogeneous aquifers. One prominent topic is the quantification of the uncertainty in the location of groundwater protection zones. He is a member of various professional associations, including the International Association for Hydraulic Research and Engineering IAHR (since 1983), the American Geophysical Union AGU (since 1994) and the International Association of Hydrological Sciences IAHS (since 1999). He was Chairman of the IAHR Committee on Groundwater Hydraulics (1996-1999). He retired from ETH in 2012.
