Lecturer
Gary Litton is a professor in the Civil Engineering Department at the University of the Pacific where he teaches courses and conducts research in environmental engineering. Dr. Litton has over 30 years of water quality experience with specialization in water quality investigations. The first six years of his career were spent with the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, where he worked on water rights and quality projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin. As a researcher and professional engineer he has been responsible for water quality monitoring and modeling investigations, water quality planning, pollution impact studies, and subsurface remediation efforts. Recently, Dr. Litton was a principal investigator of two studies focused on understanding the algae-induced depletion of dissolved oxygen in the San Joaquin River Delta. Current research includes evaluating wetland ponds for methylmercury removal in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area.
