DRI Storyteller:
Eric Wilcox - Dr. Wilcox is a DRI researcher focused on the interactions between aerosols, clouds, and precipitation to better understand regional climate variability, radiative forcing of climate at regional scales, and precipitation processes. His work combines satellite data, in-situ observations, and atmospheric modeling to study cloud dynamics and their climatic impacts. As leader of DRI’s atmospheric modeling group, he employs high-resolution regional and global climate models for applications in water resources, renewable energy, and air quality. Additionally, he directs the ASTER Laboratory, advancing unmanned aircraft systems for environmental research.
Featured Speaker:
Michael Branch, who is University Foundation Professor, Emeritus at UNR, is an award-winning writer and humorist who lives with his wife and two daughters in the western Great Basin Desert. His published work includes 300 essays and ten books, among them the Pulitzer Prize-nominated John Muir’s Last Journey. His trilogy of humorous creative nonfiction from the high desert includes Raising Wild, Rants from the Hill, and How to Cuss in Western. His most recent book, On the Trail of the Jackalope, which braids humor, science, and the arts and humanities, has been called “an entertaining and enlightening road trip to the heart of an American legend.” Mike was the 2024 inductee into the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame.
