EDUCATION:
Ph.D., Hydrology, University of Nevada, Reno
M.S., Civil Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno
B.S., Civil Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno
PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:
Dr. Cochran has broad interests in natural resources management and environmental concerns. Much of his research has focused on hydrologic processes and water resources engineering, with respect to both groundwater and surface water management. These inquiries have addressed natural water quality, water pollution and water reuse. Environmental aspects of natural resource management and development have been of interest in terms of impact assessment and evaluation. Dr. Cochran has managed several large, multidisciplinary teams in evaluating the full spectrum of environmental impacts of major projects.
