Awards

Desert Research Institute's J.O. Davis Scholarship
The 2000 annual Jonathan O. Davis Scholarship has been awarded to Joanna Redwine in the Department of Geology at California's Humboldt State University. Ms. Redwine's research proposal was "Investigation of Quaternary pluvial history, paleoclimate implications, and neotectonics of Newark Valley, east central, Nevada."
    In addition, DRI offered a stipend that was awarded to James C. Sutherland in the Hydrologic Sciences program at the University of Nevada, Reno. His proposal was "Eighteenth-Century Logging and the Geomorphic Stability of a Selected Watershed in the Carson Range, Western Nevada: Implications for Impact of Land-use Changes on Lake Tahoe."
    Jonathan O. Davis, a prominent Quaternary geologist and geoarchaeologist, was tragically killed in an auto accident in December, 1990. The family and friends of Jonathan established an endowment which provides monies for the scholarship, which is given annually to support field research of a graduate student working on the Quaternary geology of the Great Basin or surrounding areas.
    Applications must be received by February 1, 2001, so the scholarship can be used the following summer. The grant will be $2,000. Send applications to: Executive Director, Quaternary Sciences Center, Desert Research Institute, P.O. Box 60220, Reno NV 89506. To help the endowment grow, contributions can be sent to the above address.
