Scientific w88 sports betting app fueled by the Great Basin Sagebrush Restoration Fund is showing promise in its efforts to improve rehabilitation of rangeland damaged by wildfires, improve mine reclamation and expand habitat for sage grouse.
The fund was established in 2017 by Lithium w88 sports betting app Corp. and the University of w88 sports betting app, Reno, Foundation. The fund is under the control of co-founder Professor Tamzen Stringham, a rangeland scientist and interim head of the University's Department of Agriculture, Veterinary and Rangeland Sciences.
Another co-founder is Alexi Zawadzki, president of North American operations for Vancouver-based Lithium Americas Corp. and chief executive officer of Lithium w88 sports betting app, which is planning the Thacker Pass lithium mining and manufacturing project in northern Humboldt County.
“We’re in sagebrush county out there, as is most of w88 sports betting app,” he said. “It’s very difficult to reclaim sagebrush.”
Stringham and Zawadzki want to bring everyone using rangelands to the table
““The big picture is this. If we continue to lose sagebrush habitat to fire and development, the greater sage grouse will be listed, and the ability to mine or whatever activity will be lost. This is really critical.” - Stringham

Skip the soda, not the bubbles
Mix 1 part cold sparking water to 1 part cold 100% fruit juice to get a sweet, fruity and fizzy sensation. Check the ingredients list to avoid sparking waters with added sugars or sweeteners.

Natural w88 sports betting app professor studies tree rings for climate and fire data
Meet Erica Bigio
Hannah Alfaro
Erica Bigio will continue to create engaging and relevant material for her environmental classes.
Since fall 2018, Erica Bigio has been a lecturer and academic advisor for students enrolling in the majors associated with the College'sNatural w88 sports betting app & Environmental Science Department.
She has been primarily teaching nonmajors environmental science courses, but this fall, she also began teaching courses for natural w88 sports betting app and environmental science majors on topics such as forest measurements. Prior to joining the University, she worked as lecturer and postdoctoral researcher with the Laboratory of Tree-Ring w88 sports betting app at the University of Arizona. Her past teaching experience includes classes on lower-level global change for nonmajors and workshops on dendrochronology.
Bigio’s w88 sports betting app expertise lies in dendrochronology, a technique of studying tree rings to examine environmental changes and forest dynamics. Bigio’s teaching draws upon her experience in applying dendrochronology for fire history and paleoclimate, which studies climates of past geological time periods. Recent w88 sports betting app focused on streamflow reconstructions for southern California. Her dissertation, completed in 2013 at the University of Arizona, studied fire-climate relationships for southwestern Colorado. In 2017, she published a study on fire-climate relationships for the International Journal of Wildland Fire.
“My main goal as I continue here at the University is to continue to connect with my students,” Bigio explained. “I am working to improve active learning and student engagement in my courses. My goal is to increase interest in environmental science and natural w88 sports betting app.”
Even though her primary focus at the University is lecturing, Bigio also plans to continue expanding her knowledge of ecology and natural w88 sports betting app as part of the College’s Experiment Station so as to implement a variety of w88 sports betting app-based examples into her classes.
