Ethan first joined the WWA team in June 2019 as an undergraduate assistant primarily to help with the Colorado River Basin Climate and Hydrology: State of the Science report. Some of his work on the report included editing text and figures, creating the references, glossary, and acronyms/abbreviations sections, and surveying sponsors and stakeholders about the report’s usability and whether it can be used for research, policy-making, or decision-making processes in water management and policy. Ethan graduated from CU Boulder with a BA in Environmental Studies and a Minor in Geography in May 2020.
