Geoscience assistant professor Carrie Tyler will serve as principal investigator on a $2.4 million award from the National Science Foundation. The project — Graduate Experiences for Future Leaders: Building Workforce Capacity in Resource Management and Mining — will support 15 graduate fellows in the geoscience department. Their research will draw on Nevada’s world-class geologic outcrops, mineral resources, and water infrastructure to advance knowledge in water resource management, natural resources, and mining to strengthening workforce capacity in these critical industries.
