WRRC Welcomes Two New Grad Students
The WRRC is pleased to welcome two new Graduate Research Assistants, Lynn Carroll and Caleb Dusek. Lynn will be working on Water RAPIDS projects, including our upcoming WIFA conservation factsheet series. Caleb will help with communications and outreach for the WRRC Annual Conference and other WRRC programs, as well as providing assistance on various research projects.
Lynn is a third-year doctoral student in Environmental Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering and is certified as an Engineer in Training (EIT). Her research focuses on household-scale water treatment technologies for remote communities, with an emphasis on performance challenges associated with intermittently operated systems. She looks forward to bringing her background in engineering and household-level water treatment to projects at the WRRC. As a native Arizonan, Lynn is committed to advancing safe and sustainable drinking water solutions for communities across the state via research and outreach. In her free time, Lynn likes to hike and play ultimate frisbee.
Caleb is a first-year U of A master’s student in the Water, Society, and Policy program. Prior to starting his master’s degree, Caleb earned a Bachelor of Geology from Northern Arizona University and worked as a rafting guide in Grand Canyon. Caleb has also worked in a variety of educational roles including outdoor educator, substitute teacher, and youth shelter advocate. Outside of work, his interests include rock climbing, mountain biking, and kayaking. His passion for rivers and the outdoors has inspired him to pursue a career in water resource management, working to ensure a sustainable and equitable water supply for Arizona.
Welcome, Lynn and Caleb, to the WRRC!
