(The University of California, Merced)

The University of California, Merced, commonly referred to as UC Merced or UCM, is the tenth and newest of the University of California campuses. Located in the San Joaquin Valley at Merced, California, UC Merced was the first American research university to be built in the 21st century.

Problem Description: Developing strategies for watershed management Proposed Solution: Build research infrastructure & promote research Jason C. Fisher, Xiande Meng, Robert Rice, Christopher Butler, Thomas C. Harmon, and Roger Bales School of Engineering, University of California, Merced – http://snsjho.org Introduction: A mountain-to-valley “virtual” hydrologic observatory in Central California Overview Scope Establish a virtual hydrologic observatory, and provide direction for building new infrastructure in an actual observatory. Focus Build infrastructure for improving the knowledge base for sound hydrologic management in the Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley and across the West. Planning Area Central California The hydrologic observatory planning area is the greater San Joaquin Watershed encompassing the American River to the north through the Kings River in the south. The watershed covers a total area of 60,000 km2. The test basins for the current project, the Merced and Tuolumne, together cover an area of 11,230 km2. Water Storage and Distribution   Mountain Valley Disconnect Physically, the multiple rivers and watersheds are physically disconnected by foothills dams that provide flood control, hydropower, seasonal water delivery and recreation. Watershed Management The winter snowpack and watershed conditions determine the magnitude of annual runoff. Errors in snowpack measurements and runoff forecasts have huge economic implications for valley...

Steady-State and Transient Models of Groundwater Flow and Advective Transport, Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer, INL and Vicinity, Idaho Jason C. Fisher, Daniel J. Ackerman, Joseph P. Rousseau, and Gordon W. Rattray U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey -Today I’ll be discussing steady-state and transient models of groundwater flow and advective transport in the eastern Snake River Plain aquifer. The purpose of these models is better understand the aquifer and the movement of wastes in the aquifer resulting from the historic waste disposal practices at the Idaho National Laboratory or INL. -Co-authors on this project include Dan Ackerman, Joe Rousseau, and Gordon Rattray. -The models were developed by the USGS in corporation with the Department of Energy.

Precision Flow and Salinity Mass Balance Assessments across the Merced-San Joaquin River Confluence Zone Environmental Systems University of California, Merced

Today Jason and I will present research conducted at the confluence of the Merced and San Joaquin Rivers. Our objective was to develop and test a method for the direct assessment of flow and constituent mass balance within a river reach. River gains or losses may be attributed to a combination of precipitation, evaporation, surface water inflows, diversions, and groundwater fluxes; of these components delineating the surface water – groundwater fluxes is the most difficult to assess, yet, it is important in the context of understanding water quality and related ecological systems and processes.

Mahacek and about 15 other UC Merced engineering students are involved in a service learning project called Get S.E.T., which stands for science, engineering and technology. "Service learning is an experience for engineering students to learn societal skills," said UC Merced faculty mentor Christopher Viney. "How to turn equations into happier people.” The program is a collaboration between UC Merced and the Merced County Office of Education. Students met with educators in the district Wednesday to work on the program's goal -- to provide students and their educators in Merced County school districts with hands-on science demonstrations. "But to us, we're serving clients," said Mahacek, the project's team leader. UC Merced sophomore Brie Gennusa, a bio-engineering major, said the group is treating the educators like they would companies needing their services once they have engineering jobs. The students have to write out plans for their science project, pitch it to school officials and visit classes or bring students to UC Merced to make the demonstrations. These are all skills the engineering majors will need when working in the field after graduation, Gennusa said. "We're getting the chance to get real world experience with clients now," she said. Funded by donations from Foster Farms, the project participants have been broken into different groups. The elementary school team, for example, has already done projects with Peterson Elementary School. Another team i...
