Integrating urban heat island influences into statistically downscaled climate projections in the Truckee Meadows, Nevada
The Truckee Meadows is a narrow, semi-arid valley located in the lee of the Sierra Nevada and includes the cities of Reno and Sparks, Nevada. Cities are usually warmer than the surrounding countryside, especially at night, due to changes in the surface energy budget. This effect is known as the …

Treatability of Dissolved Organic Nitrogen in Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility Using Coagulation or Ozone Treatment
The Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF) has a waste load allocation (WLA) of 500 lbs/day for total nitrogen and a significant portion of the total nitrogen in TMWRF's effluent is comprised of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). This research addressed the treatability of DON collected …
