My Latest Review in North Strathfield

It’s noon in the East and that means it’s 1 pm in the US Virgin Islands, 11 am in Minnesota, 10 am in New Mexico, 9 am in Oregon, 7 am in Alaska, and 1 am in Guam and these time zone boundaries remind me of the vastness of our network of the 54 National Institutes for Water Resources at land grant universities that stretch half way across the globe from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Caribbean to the Arctic.   Good afternoon as of May 1, 2024, I am delighted to begin my one-year term representing you as the President of the National Institutes for Water Resources! I follow in the footsteps of my predecessors Dr. Jeffrey Peterson from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Nicole Misarti from the University of Alaska, Dr. Kevin Wagner from Oklahoma State University, and Dr. Doug Parker from the University of California and we welcome Dr. Yu-Feng Lin as President-elect from the University of Illinois. My predecessors Jeff and Nicole have boosted the NIWR to be a well-funded and well-respected scientific organization supported by Congress and the Department of Interior and USGS and I hope to follow their fine example.   The 54 NIWRs are authorized by the Water Resources Research Act of 1964 and 1984 and we have been in existence for six decades and are celebrating our 60-year anniversary. The law states: “Subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior…one water resources research and technology institute, center, or equivalent agency…may be established in each State (…includes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Mariana Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia) at a college or university which was established in accordance with the Act approved July 2, 1862 [7 U.S.C. 301 et seq.]. In accordance with such Act of July 2, 1862, the institute in such State shall…be established at the one such college or university designated by the Governor of the State…”

One of my favorite things about joining the team at Civil Engineering/Lyles School is learning about the amazing ways our civil engineers are using their training practically to help communities around the US and even outside - earthquake rebuilding in Turkey, water projects in Rwanda, hurricane planning in Louisiana, and more. Here’s one example of many.
