Watershed Sciences is a multidisciplinary department in the Quinney
College of Natural Resources. Our faculty conduct research in
geomorphology, hydrology, aquatic ecology, limnology, fish ecology,
wetland ecology, water quality, biogeochemistry, and paleoecology. We
find collaborative opportunities in addressing problems of management
and restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Utah State University is Utah’s
land-grant university with a student body of over 24,000 in 42
departments and 8 academic colleges. USU is well situated for research
on streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, and their catchments,
which span desert to alpine environments. The main campus is located in
Logan, a community of 100,000 people. Logan is 85 miles north of Salt
Lake City in scenic Cache Valley, a semi-rural mountain basin with
nearby ski resorts, lakes, rivers, and mountains providing many
recreational opportunities.
