David Hasemyer is regular freelancer for InsideClimate News. Previously he was an investigative reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune, where his work was recognized by the Associated Press, the Society for Professional Journalists, the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and the California Newspaper Publishers Association. He has also been a finalist for the Gerald Loeb Award. At the Union-Tribune Hasemyer wrote a series about a 10-million ton pile of nuclear waste that threatened the Colorado River. Those stories have been credited as critical to the U. S. Department of Energy's decision in 2000 to move the uranium tailings pile away from the river. Hasemyer graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism.
