Scott Hackley Email & Phone Number

Recently retired researcher for the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (earlier, Tahoe Research Group). Primary areas of interest included attached algae (periphyton), metaphyton algae, atmospheric nutrient deposition, algal bioassays and stream monitoring. Other major projects have included: impacts of dredging on Lake Tahoe; Lake Tahoe groundwater seepage studies; and impacts of deicing agents on algae and bacteria in Lake Tahoe. Short-term focused studies have included: investigations of Asian clams in Lake Tahoe, storm-water runoff monitoring, aquatic weed bioassays, underwater fish surveys. Work on other aquatic systems has included algal bioassay work on Lake Mead, NV. and dye tracer studies in Santee Lakes, CA wetland.

Listed skills include Research, Scientific Writing, Ecology, Environmental Science, and 12 others.

  Atmospheric Deposition Monitoring entails collection of atmospheric deposition in watershed or on lake surface, calculation of nutrient loading. Attached algae (periphyton) monitoring includes collection of periphyton from natural rock substrate at sites around the lake, analysis of chlorophyll a and AFDW biomass, monitoring trends in growth. Algal bioassays have included nutrient limitation and algal growth potential studies on Lake Tahoe phytoplankton and periphyton bioassays.

Present results in annual reports to local and state agencies. Studies of metaphyton algae in Lake Tahoe. Also perform stream monitoring in 3 streams (Ward, Blackwood and General Cr.) along the west shore of Lake Tahoe. This monitoring is coordinated with USGS monitoring in several other watersheds around the basin. Show less
