Solving Critical State Water Problems
Quality research and dedication to science has established DHS as Nevada's Water Resources Research Institute.
Hydrologic Sciences and Water Mgt.
DHS faculty teach in both UNR's Hydrologic Sciences and UNLV's Water Resources Management Graduate Programs.
The February Edition of Scientific American features the work of DRI’s Joseph McConnell, Ph.D. The article includes interviews with several scientists whose research examines how dust influences climate and cloud formation—and the fertilization of oceans and rain forests.
DRI Scientists receive $318,000 from Truckee River Fund and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection for the development and implementation of an integrated water quality monitoring program for the Truckee River from Tahoe City to Marble Bluff dam (just upstream of Pyramid Lake).
On Thursday, October 20 Division of Hydrologic Sciences Interim Executive Director Dr. Jim Thomas presented Mrs. Margaret Ball with the 2011 DHS Service Award. The award is given to individuals who have demonstrated prolonged, outstanding service to support the scientific and/or financial future of the Division.
Alan Heyvaert not only works at Lake Tahoe but that’s where he plays too. “My wife and I are often kayaking around the lake when we have some free time,” said Alan Heyvaert, Ph.D., DRI assistant research professor.
