Excitement added to classes
by proiessor s experiences
By Marita Morjis
A UNL economics professor is working
with economic projects around the nation
because they add the excitement of first
hand, practical experience to the classes he
teaches
Charles Lamphear, who deals "strictly"
with economic assessments of certain re
gions, said university faculty should be
come involved with outside projects to
maintain quality graduate programs.
Lamphear described several of the more
than six projects he is involved with.
Lamphear is studying alternatives to
well irrigation to deal with a potential
shortage of underground water, he said.
An underground lake, which covers six
midwestern and southern states, is the tar
get of Lamphear 's study.
The lake, called the Aqualla Lake, is
made of porous sandstone. He said it is
deepest in Nebraska.
The lake provides irrigation water, but
the water is used faster than it can be re
placed, he said. Texas already has depleted
much of its underground water so that it
can no longer irrigate, he said.
Lamphear is also impact director of an
oil assessment Droiect on the r.ulf p..
As director, he is surveying the results of
an oil spill that occurred 1H years ago
when a wellhead ""erupted, after which a
tanker, the Berma Aget, erupted six weeks
later.
The oil came ashore on the Texas coast,
causing the need for an extensive impact
assessment, he said.
The spill affected not only the shrinip
fishing industry and tourism, but also
many other aspects of the economy, he
said.
"You can let your imagination go on
how far it will affect. It will include almost
everybody down the line, he said.
The National Oceanographic and At
mospheric Association is now trying to in
vestigate ways climate affects the econo
my, such as the Midwestern drought last
summer. Other members of the association
include representatives from the universi
ties of Oklahoma, Missouri,. Delaware,
Maryland and Indiana.
In conjunction with the association,
Lamphear is an adjunct professor for the'
University of Oklahoma in helping it ex
pand its economic programs on the effect
of climate.
