Founding Members Professor Charles R. Goldman, Director, Tahoe Research Group. Dr. Goldman, Professor of Limnology in the Division of Environmental Studies, has been with the University of California, Davis, since 1958. He developed the first courses in limnology and oceanography at UCD, served as Chair of DES from 1988-1992, and was founding Director of the Institute of Ecology, serving from 1966-1969 and again in 1990-92. He has supervised 80 graduate students and 29 postdoctorals during his 38 years at UC Davis. Dr. Goldman's many prestigious awards include an NSF Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship in 1964 for limnological research in the Arctic (Lapland), a Guggenheim Fellowship in northern Italy in 1965, the "Goldman Glacier" in Antarctica named in 1967, served as President of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography in 1967-68, awarded the Antarctic Service Medal by congress in 1968, and elected a Fellow by the California Academy of Sciences in 1969. In 1973-74, he was elected Vice President of the Ecological Society of America, and accepted a Fulbright Distinguished Professorship to Yugoslavia in 1985. He was awarded the Vollenweider Lectureship in Canada in 1989, the Chevron Conservation Award and Culver Man-of-Year in 1991, the Earle A. Chiles Award in 1992, and the UCD Distinguished Public Service Award in 1993, as well as elected Vice-President of the International Society of Limnology (SIL) for 1992-95. He was recently selected to give the prestigious Baldi Lecturer at the next SIL Congress in Ireland, and has been nominated to be President of the Society in 1998. He was given the highest award a UCD faculty member can receive when he was named the UCD Faculty Research Lecturer for 1993. Dr. Goldman has published 4 books and 398 scientific articles, and has produced 4 documentary films which are in worldwide distribution. He has served on many national and international committees and is frequently sought for consultation and research missions to foreign countries on major environmental problems. In 1990 he was a member of a UNESCO team to qualify Lake Baikal as an International Heritage Lake and Senior Scientist for the National Geographic Baikal project. His single most important and sustained contribution is the 38 years of research on Lake Tahoe. Dr. Goldman is Director of the Tahoe Research Group and has pursued long-term ecological research simultaneously at Lake Tahoe and Castle Lake, California, since 1958. He successfully combined effective research and social action with his pioneering studies of lake eutrophication. These have been directly applied to engineering solutions, social needs, and legal decisions. This work has recently included the development of artificial wetlands and research on alternatives to conventional road salt for de-icing highways. This relationship of basic science to political change has been of particular importance to the Lake Tahoe Basin. Similar studies have extended Dr. Goldman's research-social action efforts to analysis of lakes like Baikal in Russia and hydroelectric impoundments throughout the world. Thus, while aggressively pursuing basic research on lake dynamics, he has also been able to translate the findings directly to state, national and international policy decisions, contributing decisively to the conservation and judicious use of aquatic resources from the Antarctic to the lakes and wetlands of South and Central America, New Guinea, Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States. John E. Reuter, academic administrator, Department of Environmental Science and Policy, received his Ph.D. at UC Davis in 1983 while studying the ecology of benthic algae in Lake Tahoe. He is currently director of the Lake Tahoe Interagency Monitoring Program, a multi-agency monitoring and research effort formed to understand the effects of watershed and atmospheric processes on the water quality of Lake Tahoe. At the same time, he is directing a 5-year U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-sponsored project to model water quality and set quality standards for nearby Pyramid Lake, Nevada. Dr. Reuter has authored over 100 scientific articles and technical reports. In 1996, he received the North American Lake Management Society's annual award for outstanding scientific research.
