HAS NEWS December 2018

New HAS Associate Professor Ali Behrangi and students from the ATMO/HWRS 455-555 class, Introduction to Remote Sensing class, visited the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Lab in the Charles Sonnet Space Sciences Building to learn more about NASA’s HiRISE project. Students met with members of the Digital Terrain Modeling group.

New HAS Assistant Professor Bo Guo just completed his first Fall Semester in the Tucson desert.

The primary focus of his research is to understand and model transport processes in shale rocks for unconventional oil-gas development. In addition, his work is moving up from the deep subsurface to the unsaturated zone to model multiphase multispecies reactive transport to answer science questions for the Earth’s Critical Zone.

In the spring semester, Bo will teach HWRS 504A Numerical Methods for Environmental Transport Problems, building upon the original course, HWRS 504 Numerical Methods in Subsurface Hydrology, taught by Professor Emeritus Shlomo P. Neuman.

HAS NEWS December 2018

New HAS Assistant Professor Laura Condon has had a great first semester and is happy she made the move to the desert southwest to join the HAS faculty. Laura is building her research group studying groundwatersurface water interactions and the role of groundwater flow in watershed behavior.

Her group is currently taking advantage of the local topography, evaluating mountain block recharge in the Sabino Creek watershed. Also, her group is helping to develop a high resolution hydrologic modeling platform that spans the continental U.S. In the spring, Laura will be teaching HWRS 573 Hydrology for Water Resources Management.

As we welcomed our three new faculty members, we also celebrated the career of HAS Professor Juan Valdes who achieved the rank of Professor and Department Head Emeritus in May. Here is Juan at the Casa Molina reception held in his honor flanked by recent HAS retirees Tom Maddock III and Jim Shuttleworth. Juan hasn’t completely retired, however, as he is currently mentoring our new CONACYT-BECAS Scholars from Chile who will begin our graduate program in the spring semester 2019.

On a more somber note, the department lost one of its luminaries in 2018. Benjamin (Ben) M. Herman, Professor and Department Head Emeritus in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Arizona, passed away in Tucson on June 8.

A gifted teacher and mentor, Ben was a visionary in mainframe computing and authored an amazing body of highly cited work in the fields of satellite remote sensing (SAGE, COSMIC), inversion theory, and radiative transfer.

Ben developed the first Mie scattering computer code that could be used for drops of liquid water, and his code was used for many years in radar meteorology. His scattering code was also applied to a variety of light scattering problems in planetary atmospheres.

In 2006, NASA and the Department of the Interior bestowed on Ben and his collaborators on the TOMS team the William T. Pecora Award for “developing innovative techniques for providing unique atmospheric ozone, sulfur dioxide and aerosol data for more than twenty five years.” In 2010, he received the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal. Ben was also a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society. You can read a full tribute to Ben’s life in our website news article.

Yiyi was also the recipient of a multi-year NASA Graduate Fellowship and is 2018 University of Arizona Rachel Carson Scholar. She was also a top 3 finalist in the 2018 UA Grad Slam competition—the UA’s 3-minute, 1-PowerPoint slide version of a TED Talk!

The Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences Student Association (HASSA) had a very busy year— and nearly doubled their membership in the process!

In addition to the usual workshops on computer programming, scientific illustration, poster preparation, and resume building, HASSA also introduced our new students to life in the desert southwest.

They hosted hikes to Picacho Peak, Aravaipa Canyon, Sabino Canyon, Mount Lemmon and the Lemmon Pools, Mt. Wrightson, Patagonia Lake State Park, and Catalina State Park, weekend camping trips to Parker Canyon Lake, Bonita Canyon Campground, and the Chavez Crossing Campground in Sedona, and special events like Oktoberfest (Mount Lemmon again), a winery tour in Sonoita, and a games night.

Remember the good old days when you could hike every weekend?

And they still managed to have enough time to study!

From Yours Truly, Fellow Alumni This column is for you and your fellow alumni to share your news! Drop us a line—with or without photos—for the next issue!

Hello to all fellow alums from Tim Flynn (MS ’85) and Tyson Carlson (MS ’00)! The city of White Salmon in southcentral Washington has been pursuing an aquifer storage and recover (ASR) project to meet long-term water supply needs. ASR is an emerging technology that captures surface water in times of excess (spring freshet) and utilizes an aquifer as a storage reservoir until it is withdrawn during times of water shortage (late summer).

In 2019, the project is expected to become just the fourth ASR system in the state to be permitted and brought online. HAS Alum Tim Flynn has led the project since its inception. Tim is president and principal hydrogeologist of Aspect Consulting, a Pacific Northwest earth science and engineering firm with over 100 employees in Washington and Oregon.

More From Yours Truly Douglas Boyle, PHD ‘01

douglasb@unr.edu

Doug remembers when he first corresponded with Terrie Thompson in the mid-1990s about the possibility of becoming a PhD student with Soroosh Sorooshian and Hoshin Gupta - it seems like a lifetime ago. He graduated from the UA with a PhD in 2001, spent 10 years at the Desert Research Institute and another 9 years (and counting) with the Geography Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. He has been the Nevada State Climatologist for the last ~6 years (stepping down from that position in a few weeks) and recently (July) began serving as Geography’s department chair. Everything is great in Nevada, but he does miss the UA, the winter “vacation" weather, and the great food in Tucson. Hi to everyone!

Randall Hanson, MS ‘?

rthanson@usgs.gov

Randy retired from the USGS in January 2018 after 37 years studying water issues and developing methods across the southwest, the US, and elsewhere in the world. He’s started his own company to help people use the USGS’ new integrated hydrologic flow model, One Water (formerly known as MF-OWHM). You can contact him for details at One-Water Hydrologic LLC.

Ross, Physical Scientist with the National Water Center, NOAA National Weather Service, in Kansas City, Missouri, advises that he did not win the Nobel Prize in physics this past year.

He did enjoy a stay at a Holiday Inn Express!

Barney Popkin, MS ‘73

bppopkin@yahoo.com

2018 was a challenging year for Barney. The year began in Houston continuing 2017 work as FEMA-contracted Hurricane Harvey public infrastructure drainage and flood control engineer, then came emergency cardiac arterial quadruple bypasses and a slow recovery, advice on ADB/Mandalay community-based solid waste management, and submissions of a short note on groundwater development mistakes and an article on the transformation from geologic to atmospheric energy in Arizona. He now enjoys a lifetime of mementoes, including a vertical gash and titanium bolts and a plate in his chest.

HAS NEWS December 2018

Our Merger Has Purpose The Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences represents a new paradigm for teaching and research in water and atmospheric sciences. Our mission: To build a fully integrated program that considers the fate and transport of water, energy, and chemical constituents throughout the atmosphere and geosphere and to develop knowledge needed to solve Earth’s water, hydrogeologic, weather, and climate related problems. Our goal: To lead a new approach for the analysis and understanding of hydrogeologic processes that views the land-atmosphere interface as a new frontier of opportunities rather than a disciplinary barrier. One thing is for certain: We’re better together.

To everyone in the HAS family, we wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

We leave you one final thought: Yes, it’s an old course, but we never tire of teaching it! Graduate students Tao Liu and Victoria Hermosilla on location at Sonoita Creek below Patagonia Lake for the spring-summer field methods course, HWRS 413-513A & B, led by Ty Ferré and Tom Meixner.

Students were surveying all important points of measurement and reference in preparation for the annual dam release. The pulse flow of water would simulate a flood through the creek, and students would measure the flow using a variety of methods.

Do you remember your field camp experience?

The UA Campus Established in 1885, the University of Arizona, the state’s super land-grant university with two medical schools, produces graduates who are real-world ready through its 100% Student Engagement initiative. Recognized as a global leader and ranked 16 for the employability of its graduates, UA is also a leader in research, bringing more than $580 million in research investment each year, and ranking 20 among all public universities. UA is advancing the frontiers of interdisciplinary scholarship and entrepreneurial partnerships—the National Weather Service and USGS are co-located here— and is a member of the Association of American of Universities, the 62 leading public and private research universities. It benefits the state with an estimated economic impact of $8.3 billion annually.
