Professor Geoff Schladow of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Sierra Nevada College will give a talk at the Incline Village school on March 28.

He was appointed founding director of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center in August 2004. As director of the largest limnological (the study of inland waters) facility west of the Great Lakes, he is the point person for UC Davis research, teaching, and outreach agenda at Lake Tahoe.

Schladow is an expert in the areas of environmental fluid mechanics, water quality modeling, and the dynamics of inland waters. He is developing computer models to link streamflow measurements with meteorological and other remote-sensor information to provide Tahoe decision-makers new management tools.

The talk is free and open to the public. It will be in room TCES 139/141 from 11:45am-12:45pm.
