PULLMAN - Brian Lamb and C. Kent Keller have accepted a co-directorship for WSU’s Center for Environmental Research, Education and Outreach (CEREO) effective immediately.

 

CEREO, a systemwide interdisciplinary center, includes approximately 150 faculty members from seven colleges and all WSU campuses.

 

CEREO’s primary goals are to:

Lamb

Lamb came to WSU in 1979 and has earned numerous awards in teaching, advising and research in the field of atmospheric chemistry and physics. He is the Regents Professor and the Boeing Distinguished Professor of Environmental Engineering in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Laboratory for Atmospheric Research.

 

He is internationally recognized as a leader in topics regarding regional grid modeling of photochemical air quality and windblown dust; atmospheric tracer techniques; biogenic emissions; three-dimensional turbulence modeling; and greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Lamb’s awards include the Outstanding Research Award, College of Engineering and Architecture, WSU, 2002; Outstanding Graduate Adviser Award, WSU Association of Graduate Students, 1999-2000; Leon Luck Faculty Award for the Most Effective Faculty Member, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 1994; and Outstanding Research Award, College of Engineering and Architecture, WSU, 1993. Dr. Lamb received his Ph.D. in 1978 from the California Institute of Technology and his B.S. in Chemistry in 1973 from Idaho State University.

 

Keller is a professor and associate director of the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. He received his Ph.D. in 1987 from the University of Waterloo and his B.S. degree in 1977 from Stanford University.

 

Keller

Keller’s research is based on understanding the relationships between physical processes and biogeochemical environments in the terrestrial subsurface. His current work focuses on the geochemical agency of plants associated with their nutrient-uptake mechanisms, and the effects of anthropogenic N on chemical weathering in continental runoff. He is also well-known for his work on the hydrogeology of clayey deposits. He serves WSU, eastern Washington, and State agencies with expert comment on the condition of groundwater resources in the region.

 

George Mount, professor of civil and environmental engineering served as director of CEREO from 2007-09.
