Video News Release
For your convenience we have provided several short downloadable video and sound bite clips about the Walker Lake Project which can be used to build a story on the importance of the closed-lake basin research.
The Walker Lake Project serves as an example of the importance of endangered lakes research and will be featured at the International Terminus Lakes Symposium. Links to a 10-minute video and a 26-minute video about the Walker Basin Project are also included on this page below the clips.
The interview clips feature researchers James M. Thomas, Ph.D., Research Professor, Director, Center for Watershed Environmental Sustainability, Desert Research Institute and Mike Collopy, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Academy for the Environment at the University of Nevada, Reno. Thomas and Collopy are the co-directors of the Walker Basin project and co-hosts of the symposium.
