Lauren Bolotin - Lab Manager
Lauren is a 2019 graduate from the Ecohydrology and Environmental Science undergraduate programs at the University of Nevada Reno. She has a variety of interests in water, including stream hydrology and water quality, mountain hydrology, and groundwater-surface water interactions. In her free time Lauren enjoys seeing live music, dancing, hiking near Lake Tahoe, travelling, and finding the best coffee in town. |

Meredith Brehob - MS Student
Meredith is a master’s student in the Natural Resources and Environmental Science Program at the University of Nevada, Reno. She graduated from Michigan Technological University with a degree in Environmental Engineering. While there she developed an interest in ecosystem ecology and human impacts on ecosystems. She is working on a research project to look at the efficacy of using UV-C radiation to reduce the abundance of invasive aquatic macrophytes in streams and the effects this may have on ecosystem processes. Meredith enjoys karaoke, movies, and hiking. Meredith is co-advised by Sudeep Chandra. |

Kelly Loria - Ph.D. Student
Kelly is a PhD student in the Natural Resources and Environmental Science Program at the University of Nevada, Reno. She graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and post-graduation lead the Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research Program’s monitoring of alpine lakes. She is broadly interested in aquatic ecology, especially in headwater catchments. Kelly is excited to be investigating patterns of stream metabolism in the Lake Tahoe Basin for land use gradients and event based signals. |

Keenan Seto - M.S. Student
Keenan is a MSc student in the Natural Resources and Environmental Science program studying the impacts of freshwater salinization on chemical regimes in Great Basin waterways. While completing a BSc in Natural Resource Management from Colorado State University, he became hooked on freshwater science by researching how acid mine drainage affected aquatic insects and water quality in Colorado’s High Country. His professional experience includes conducting aquatic habitat and water quality surveys for the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Colorado. Outside of the lab, you can find him snowboarding, mountaineering or figuring out how to add stamps to his passport. |

Chloe Dodge - Undergraduate Student
Chloe is an undergraduate student in the Environmental Science and Ecohydrology programs at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her emphasis is in environmental pollutants and contaminants, and she is most interested in water quality and human impacts on ecosystems. Chloe also enjoys hiking, traveling, and hanging out with dogs in her free time. |
