I have been up in New Hampshire preparing to do some snow melt sampling since late February. Initially I was hoping to get prepared, attend a catchment science meeting in Hawaii, and then return to sample. The weather, however, had other ideas. The forecast for the Hawaii week looked warm and ripe for a melt …

Kris Brown attended the 17th Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference in Shreveport, LA last week and won a best student presentation award. Congratulations Kris!
I had a great week with colleagues from the US and Japan at the 4th US-Japan Joint meeting on hydrology. We had a productive week that set us on course for some cross-site synthesis research and paper writing. Thank you to everyone for making it fun and productive. The photo above is from a hike …
The US-Japan Joint Seminar on Catchment Hydrology and Forest Biogeochemistry is next week. We’re ready for it! The revised program is posted and it looks to be an exciting week. Stay tuned and we’ll update you on the outcomes.
A special issue of the journal Hydrological Processes called “Catchments in the future North: interdisciplinary science for sustainable management in the 21st Century” reports on the results from our North-Watch project. This is a great collection of papers on the future of northern watershed hydrology and how these systems respond to changing climate. Dr. McGuire is …

Reblog from Writing in Science There are great points made in this blog post on the use of acknowledgements in talks. This blog generally has great advice. “Last words are our strongest. That’s why the punchline comes at the end of the joke and the conclusions at the end of a presentation. The conclusion slide …
We had a great meeting this week at the Coweeta Hydrologic Lab. Rhett Jackson organized this photo of the hydrologists at the meeting. It is really amazing to think of the rich research history of this place and what it has meant to the field of hydrology.
Last week on our Hydropedology Project, Scott collected the 1000th water sample from watershed 3 at Hubbard Brook. This is quite a milestone!
We are expanding here on the Virginia Tech campus in the area of water through addition of seven new full‐time, nine‐month, tenure-track faculty members!!! We currently have over 80 faculty in water resources many (not all) of which are listed on our VWRRC website. These positions show the university’s commitment to maintaining excellence in programming and research …
Cody Gillin receives the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award for his work in Forest Ecology and Sustainability. Congratulations Cody!
The Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation department’s seminar is organized by Kevin McGuire this spring. The line up of speakers is awesome. Should be a great seminar series!

We now have the green light to move forward on our US-Japan Joint Seminar in March on Catchment Hydrology and Forest Biogeochemistry. The purpose of the US-Japan Joint Seminar is to examine similarities and differences in catchment science research and to synthesize work between the two countries. A workshop-style seminar is planned to facilitate structured exchange of ideas, …

Applications for the Hubbard Brook Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program are due by February 6 – that’s just 3 weeks away! We are seeking a student to work on a hillslope hydrology project looking at how water travels through soils on its way to streams in forested ecosystems. See our post from Dec. 11th …
