  • Snow-cover critical for revegetation following forest fires

    Snow-cover critical for revegetation following forest fires

    Wednesday, December 1, 2021 1:00 AM
    With wildfires devastating mountain ecosystems across the western United States, their successful forest revegetation recovery hinges on, among other factors, an adequate lasting snowpack, according to research by the University of Nevada, Reno and Oregon State University.
    “Our study illustrated that summer precipitation, snow cover and elevation were all important drivers of revegetation success,” said Anne Nolin, a hydrologist and geography professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and formerly at Oregon State University. “In particular, we found that snow cover was a critical explanatory variable for revegetation in the Oregon and Washington Cascades. This could help inform revegetation management practices following severe wildfires.”

    Statewide First-Gen Network uses Dean’s Future Scholars Program as a model

    Tuesday, November 30, 2021 1:00 AM
    The overwhelming 21-year success of the Dean’s Future Scholars Program at the University of Nevada, Reno has led to the launch of a statewide initiative, the Nevada First-Gen Network, to help students graduate from high school and achieve higher education – the first in their families to do so.
    Through a bill first sponsored by Senator Heidi Seevers Gansert in the 2021 Nevada legislature, which led to using federal American Rescue Plan funds through SB461, the new program is expected to distribute $725,000 annually in micro-grants to other organizations that serve the same demographic profile of students and can help students enter college. The total funding for the three-year project is $4 million.

  • Winter Care for Livestock

    Winter Care for Livestock

    Wednesday, November 24, 2021 1:00 AM
    Most of Nevada’s cattle and sheep are raised on the open range, however, many smaller livestock producers, like those who raise horses, goats and even pigs need to provide their animals with some shelter in the winter time. Although, animals have their natural coats which allow them to endure much colder temperatures than people can tolerate. When animal housing is designed for human comfort, it can actually be too warm and unhealthy for animals. Buildings with plugged air cracks and windows covered with double plastic are often poorly ventilated. This situation can result in a buildup of moisture and animal odors, creating an unhealthy environment.

    Southwest Gas faces pressure from climate groups, investors as it charts future

    Tuesday, November 23, 2021 1:00 AM
    Regulators are turning their attention to natural gas as the state seeks to transition away from burning fossil fuels to meet a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
    At the center of this transition is one company with deep connections across Nevada: Southwest Gas. The company is the state's largest utility provider of the methane gas used in businesses and homes — and it is working to grow its footprint. In recent years, the company has received permission to expand its service into rural communities, including Spring Creek and Mesquite.
