Castle Lake Limnological Research Station

Sudeep Chandra (and his dog Old Girl) made the headlines in Nevada News for their work on the Truckee River. Sudeep and his crew from the lab are studying the river extensively. They collect aquatic invertebrates, algae, and fish samples for nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes analysis; this will help them to understand the composition of the entire food web of the river.

"If we can manage the river better, it’s good for business, and our community. I really think we can bring people into Reno because of this river -- it helps make Reno a great place to live. Hopefully we can provide local and regional user groups and managers the information they need to make the river better. That’s our goal."
