About me
Dr. Nelson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Science at Utah Valley University and specializes in Hydrology. As part of a research project funded by the National Science Foundation he is mentoring a team of undergraduate research assistants that are investigating groundwater and surface water interactions surrounding Utah Lake. The team of researchers are using UAVs (drones) utilizing thermal and multispectral sensors in conjunction with more traditional flow measurements to better understand the water budget for Utah Lake and other water bodies around Utah.
