Aggieair Helps Find Fish When Yellow Creek Runs Dry, Utah Water Research Laboratory
Aggieair Helps Find Fish When Yellow Creek Runs Dry, Utah Water Research Laboratory
News
A recent KSL News story highlighted a research project ongoing at Yellow Creek along the Utah/Wyoming border that includes state agencies from both states, along with federal agencies and the Nature Conservancy. AggieAir's autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), developed at the Utah Water Research Laboratory, are useful tools for researchers seeking to protect native fish species during times when the creek runs dry, such as during times of drought or late summer when irrigation use draws down the available water. Using remote sensing in the visual and infrared spectrums, Aggie Air helps researchers to locate pockets of water where the …

Randy Martin's Ozone Study Featured On Ksl News, Utah Water Research Laboratory
Randy Martin's Ozone Study Featured On Ksl News, Utah Water Research Laboratory
News
Ground-level ozone is common pollutant in the air along the Wasatch Front in both summer and winter, and it can be damaging to both human health and plant ecosystems. One challenge to improving these pollution levels is the fact that ozone is not emitted but created through chemical ractions in the air. The EPA has set lower limits on allowable ozone levels, and the air along the Wasatch Front will likely exceed those limits many times in the months to come. UWRL faculty member Dr. Randy Martin is one of several researchers from three Utah universities and the Utah Department …

Phd Student, Ayman Alafifi, Receives First Place In 2016 J. Paul Riley Awra Utah Section Student Paper Competition, Utah Water Research Laboratory
News
CEE and UWRL PhD student Ayman AlAfifi won first place in the recent American Water Resources Association Utah Chapter student paper competition for this presentation titled: "Systems Modeling to Improve River and Riparian Habitat Quality." This research investigates the use of systems models to better manage river and riparian areas. Ayman developed an optimization model that shows the implications of management decisions on the quality of a river’s ecological habitat. The model attempts to improve habitat quality for priority species by allocating water to the sites and at the seasons that will best serve the needs of the desired species …
