John E. Hadder is currently the Director for Great Basin Research Watch. His academic background is in physical chemistry with a MS from the University of Cincinnati. In 1991 he first visited the Nevada Test Site and became involved with work around nuclear issues in Nevada. Since that time he has been applying his knowledge of chemistry and science to public policy and environmental issues.
A regular at Nevada Test Site gatherings, John became a part of the ongoing organizing cadre, and was hired by Citizen Alert in 1997. While on staff he created Citizen Alert’s Nuclear Issues Education Program. He was also the Northern Nevada Coordinator, developing local programs and connecting with regional and national campaigns until 2006.
Over the years he has worked in areas of community planning, non-violence and peace work, energy, sustainable transportation, indigenous rights, and general environmental protection. He has developed skills in activism and organizing, and spent time traveling within the Great Basin learning about the land and its people.
John also teaches chemistry at Truckee Meadows Community College. He serves on the board of directors for the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, and HOME (Healing Ourselves and Mother Earth).
He is also a thespian, acting, writing, and directing projects with Theoretical Theatre, and also works with the Nevada Shakespeare Company. In addition, he loves cycling on the open road.

Jon obtained his M.S. degree in Geography in 2009 from the University of Nevada, Reno where he focused his studies in wildfire ecology, forest ecology, and climatology of the Great Basin, and received his B.S. degree in Environmental Science in 2003 from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA where he focused his studies in hydrology and freshwater ecology. He has experience working on various projects related to fisheries biology, stream ecology, water quality, and geomorphology assessments throughout the Pacific Northwest. His work experience and education has enhanced his interest in preventing negative impacts of land use and resource extraction on ecosystems, hydrologic processes, and communities.

An Environmental Science senior at the University of Nevada, Patrick provides research, outreach, and natural resource project monitoring support for GBRW. Born and raised in a small farming community in central Texas, his agricultural background attributes to his interest in environmental science, and environmental impacts on rural communities. Patrick has received his college’s primary scholarship award from the College of Agriculture Biotechnology and Natural Resources and earned an opportunity to study environmental policy reform in Ghana during the summer of 2010. His future goals include obtaining a M.S. degree in Natural Resource Management at either the University of California or the University of Alaska.
