Final Report - Environmental Extremes: Building a New Research Partnership between the University of Nevada Reno and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
This project focused on strengthening research partnership and collaboration between the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and the Pacific Northwest National laboratory (PNNL) in two focused areas: wildfires and hydrology in the context of environmental extremes. The goal was to overcome barriers and bring UNR university researchers, students, and postdocs up to speed and entrained into DOE/SC/BER /Earth and Environmental System Science Division’s (EESSD) environmental research enterprise. UNR continues to work with the Earth and Biological Sciences Directorate (EBSD) at PNNL to create a broad new collaborative research program connecting scientists and research faculty at the two institutions. This research partnership has been designed to increase the capabilities and velocities of both institutions by developing long-term relationships between researchers from each institution, exposing university researchers to the deep capabilities in the DOE National Laboratories and user facilities, and establishing a pipeline of skilled and experienced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers ready to work alongside DOE scientists to take on grand challenge science problems. These collaborations are intended to ultimately benefit the public by advancing scientific discovery, unleashing the scientific potentials through collaboration and connection, enriching the technical and scientific competitiveness of our nation, and enabling the development of a skilled workforce to tackle the critical scientific challenges that face our nation’s security, infrastructure, and prosperity.
