“William James Shuttleworth has been bestowed the honor of Regents’ Professor,” announced Professor Tom Maddock, head of the Department of Hydrology and Water Resources, on Feb. 20.

Jim Shuttleworth joined the Department of Hydrology & Water Resources in 1993, and is also a faculty member in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences. He was director of the Center for Sustainability of Semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian Areas, known as SAHRA, from 2004 to 2008.

Shuttleworth noted that “academic awards are usually made by peers who know your contribution to your field, and I am proud to have received some of these in the past. But being awarded a Regents’ Professorship is different. Selection is by those who also know you as a person. It is all the more satisfying because of this.”
