Dedication of a New Vessel for Research on Lake Mead
In addition to the new vessel, named Forever Earth, a coring barge operated by UNLV and the National Park Service was on display at the dedication. Dave and Mark Rudin from UNLV were asked to explain the coring operations and show some of the cores to about 40 students, the press, and dignitaries as they toured the coring barge. The students were part of a middle-school chorus that sang at the dedication before touring the boats. Many of the students enthusiastically participated in the "hands-on" experience of touching the cores. In addition to Dave, Ken Covay and Dan Bright of the USGS' Water Resources Discipline (WRD) were present to represent the USGS. Dan started his USGS career in the Coastal and Marine Geology team's geotechnical lab in Menlo Park, CA, and now works as a hydrologist in the WRD office in Las Vegas.
