In keeping with tradition, this year’s celebration will be a chocolate potluck! Start thinking about what you would like to bake, concoct, purchase, or brew, then bring your favorite divine chocolate delectation to share.
Plugging into WEST: Researchers, Industry, and Arizonans Benefit by Connecting with the UA Water and Energy Sustainable Technology Center
Ian Pepper, Co-Director, WEST Center
Bob Stea , Associate Director, Research Business Development, WEST Center
04/26/2017 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm Arizona Time
In 2016 WEST became the most recently established RDI "Institutional-level" Center at the University of Arizona. Such Centers are initiated to provide unique infrastructure or technological capabilities to the UA personnel on campus. The two Co-directors, Ian Pepper and Shane Snyder, report to the Senior Vice President for Research within the Office of Research, Discovery, and Innovation. WEST focuses on the water/energy nexus and has unique features that allow for innovative research and technology that can make research proposals more competitive. WEST partners with companies in the private sector and public utilities, and focuses on water and wastewater treatment, providing opportunities to pursue real-world problems. WEST is also interested in developing training programs on specific topics related to advanced water treatment, real-time sensors, and state-of-the-art molecular and microbial assays. Finally, WEST is the perfect vehicle for outreach and education activities related to water and energy. This presentation focuses on the latest projects and innovations at WEST, and the potential to be "plugged into WEST."

WRRC Brown Bag Webinar: A Living River – The Santa Cruz River from Mexico to Marana
The Santa Cruz River has long been the backbone of the region’s natural and cultural heritage. Although the river has changed since humans first arrived in the region 12,000 years ago, the river still exists and is a “living” entity that continues to support wildlife and communities along its course. Throughout Arizona, the release of effluent maintains flows of many river reaches. The Santa Cruz River is fortunate to have three stretches with effluent flows—one near Nogales in Santa Cruz County and two near Tucson in Pima County.
