Angelo DiMario, Jeff Kane, Erik Jules
Forestry, Fire & Rangeland Management
Forestry student, Angelo DiMario (2018) lead authored an article in the journal Northwest Science from research conducted while he was an undergraduate student. This research characterized fuel loading around large sugar pine in the Klamath Mountains and was supported by the Research, Creative Activies, and Scholarship fund. Faculty members Jeff Kane (Forestry) and Erik Jules (Biology) were co-authors on the paper.
Brian Murphy
Environmental Science & Management
Won first place in student research at the North American Cartographic Research Society Annual Conference in Norfolk, VA with his map about the growth of the Hobet coal mine in West Virginia over 40 years, illustrating how the practice of mountaintop removal and valley fills creates unmitigable impacts to nearly all aspects of the geography, from geology and hydrology, to human health and economic development.
Courtney Otto
Biological Sciences
Won the 2017/18 HSU Distinguished Faculty Award of Excellence in Teaching - Lecturer.
