Free Live Stream: 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Virtual Networking: 4 – 4:30 pm
Zoom info below

Based in Reno, Desert Research Institute’s Hydrologic Sciences (DHS) research and development division is at the forefront on all continents of researching humans’ impact on the environment and the environment’s impact on humans. 

Join us for networking, a virtual tour of DHS, and a chance to visit with Dr. Sean McKenna, DHS Executive Director, who will amaze you with an overview of their creative work encompassing snow melt, the water within our lakes, streams, and rivers as well as underground water and evaporation back into the atmosphere.

Here is what you’ll learn: 

• How DHS uses drones for sampling and observing wildfires and how DHS pulled ice cores from glaciers in Greenland to understand how ancient civilizations reacted to climatic change.

• DHS research on the characterization of microplastics and how they get into the environment and our water systems.

• How satellites can help us manage water use down to the scale of individual farm fields.

• How drones are used for sampling and observing wildfires and to optimize forest and grasslands management
