NSF funded an EAGER award (2024-2026) to investigate the environmental and climatic determinants of Valley fever in Texas. Our group is collaborating with Dr. Sandip Pal (TTU, Department of Geosciences), Dr. Jennifer Head (University of Michigan, School of Public Health) and Dr. Scott Van Pelt (USDA-ARS).
NSF funded a RAPID grant (2024-2025) to study post-fire aeolian transport. Our group is collaborating with Dr. Branimir Segvic (TTU, Department of Geosciences) and Drs. Scott Van Pelt and John Stout (USDA-ARS).
Happy trails to group members Nusrat Jarin (MS in Geography and Environment) and Travis Clark (BS in Geography and Environment) who are off to graduate school in California and Ohio.
