Vice President

Picture
David Adam is a fourth-generation Californian who has worked on Clear Lake for over 40 years.

He holds a BA degree in anthropology from Harvard, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Geosciences from the University of Arizona, and was the first person to develop a fossil pollen record from California postglacial deposits.

He was a Research Geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey for 25 years, where he developed a climatic history for Clear Lake spanning the last full glacial cycle (130,000 years). Since moving to Lake County in 1998, he has worked for the Lake County Air Quality Management District, the UC Davis Clear Lake Environmental Research Center, and Mendocino College, where he taught physical geology for 15 years.

He is a Life Member of the Freshwater Biological Association, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, and The Ecological Society of America. A list of his many scientific publications is online at www.quercus.org.
