New Science to Achieve Results (STAR) project seeks to predict when drinking water wells becomes contaminated while targeting the most vulnerable populations before early childhood exposures occur by Jacob Hochard

Our new 3-year, $799,952 project, “Predicting Drinking Water Contamination from Extreme Weather to Reduce Early Life Contaminant Exposures” was funded by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency and brings together economists, pediatricians, atmospheric scientists, engineers, designers and ecologists to predict when private wells are likely to become contaminated and launch targeted risk communications to households with newborns. The project is led by the Haub School and brings together researchers from the University of Wyoming, East Carolina University and The Citadel.

Haub School Researchers Funded to Build Natural Wealth Accounts for the State of Wyoming by Jacob Hochard

Our interdisciplinary team of University of Wyoming Haub School researchers (Drew Bennett, Kevin Monteith, Steve Smutko and Temple Stoellinger) are pleased to announce a major award from the Knobloch Family Foundation to begin constructing Wyoming Natural Wealth Accounts.

The $280,00, 2-year award will support a post-doctoral fellow and graduate student to initiate and maintain a natural wealth accounting of elk populations and distributions statewide.
