OTHER ATTRACTIONS OF UNR, NBMG, AND RENO
Nevada geology provides an exciting venue for basic and applied research. Excellent exposures of rocks and complex structures help our geologists unravel the tectonic history of western North America. Some of the world’s most productive gold and other mineral deposits are close at hand for studies of fundamental Earth processes and applications in exploration, mining, and environmental stewardship. Abundant geothermal systems are natural laboratories for understanding relationships between fluid flow and geological structure and for furthering development of renewable energy. Active tectonics, limited water resources, and booming population centers keep urban geology and studies of hazards at the forefront. Easy access to federally managed lands facilitates field work. Nevada's desert climate and temperature differentials by latitude and elevation make field work possible in different parts of the state throughout the year. Reno’s concentration of geoscientists from various industries, the U.S. Geological Survey, UNR, and the Desert Research Institute encourages interactions that stimulate research.
NBMG has excellent support staffs in administration, cartography, geographic information systems, editing, and geochemical and mineralogical analysis. Existing analytical equipment available at UNR includes ICP-MS with laser ablation capabilities, AA, XRD, IC, GC, FTIR, C-H-N-S analyzer, atomic force microscopy, SEM, and stable-isotope capabilities. A portable spectrometer and portable XRF analyzer are available for mineralogical and geochemical mapping and sampling in the field. Some equipment is maintained by faculty members in the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, and NBMG’s senior technician maintains much of the instrumentation and supervises student assistants on funded projects involving analytical geochemistry. Approximately 10% of the senior technician’s effort is in support of analytical services for the general public, largely analyses of precious metals and mineralogical determinations by XRD. Computer facilities include excellent computational packages for geochemical and hydrogeological modeling, remote sensing, image processing, interferometric synthetic aperture radar, GPS, GIS, and 3-D visualization and modeling. Geophysical equipment includes portable seismometers, a 48-channel reflection-refraction recording system, borehole logging systems, geodetic GPS instruments, gravimeters, total-field magnetometers, and a fully equipped paleomagnetic laboratory.
UNR has strong reputations in economic geology, geothermal resources, chemistry, geodesy, seismology, neotectonics, remote sensing, hydrogeology, and many other fields. NBMG works closely with industry, including the mining, geothermal, and geotechnical industries that are active in Nevada. NBMG is a supporter of UNR's Ralph J. Roberts Center for Research in Economic Geology and works closely with its director and graduate students on projects. NBMG supports and benefits from UNR’s Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy. The University also hosts the Reno Field Office of the U.S. Geological Survey's mineral resources team. The Geological Society of Nevada (GSN), with approximately 1,000 members, has monthly meetings in Reno that regularly attract 100 to 200 geologists. NBMG supports GSN's efforts to hold a major symposium every five years, generally with a focus on ore deposits in the Great Basin and elsewhere. NBMG recently completed construction of a new combined sample-management, information office, and publication-sales office, the Great Basin Science Sample and Records Library on the nearby campus of the Desert Research Institute. The facility houses the GSN office and publications of the Nevada Petroleum Society. Research faculty in the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory hold joint appointments with NBMG and the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, which conducts seismological research and operates the seismic network covering much of Nevada and eastern California.
Other attractions for the position include excellent benefits (health, dental, eye, and life insurance coverage, worker's compensation, and retirement, sick leave, holidays and an academic schedule that allows for summer and semester-break vacations), access to discretionary funds that can be used for professional development, and a great area in which to live. Reno is located within minutes of the Sierra Nevada and less than an hour from skiing and hiking near Lake Tahoe, fishing at Pyramid Lake and in the Sierras, and historic Virginia City. The gaming industry provides large-city entertainment and restaurants, but the overall population (approximately 300,000 in the Reno-Carson City region) and excellent infrastructure make for commutes and a general ambiance more typical of a small town - "the biggest little city in the world." Festivals (Art Town in July, Hot August Nights, balloon races, and airplane races) are some of the many local highlights. Public and private schools have excellent reputations for placing students in top colleges, and as a faculty member, your spouse and children may attend UNR for nominally low fees and partially waived tuition. Students with good grades from UNR have excellent opportunities for graduate school and employment. The San Francisco Bay area, Napa Valley, the Pacific coast, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Las Vegas are within about an hour's plane ride or easy drives.
