Congratulations to Carrie on being selected for a CUAHSI 2015 Pathfinder Fellowship. Carrie’s proposal titled, “Stream network expansion and contraction dynamics in headwater catchments throughout the Appalachian Highlands,” will be supported by CUAHSI (Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.), which will provide her with an opportunity to enhance her dissertation project to include the Fernow Experimental Forest as field site. This summer she will spend several weeks at Fernow mapping stream channels allowing her to add the Allegheny Mountain section of the Appalachian Plateau physiographic province to field sites throughout the Appalachian Highlands. Carrie recently presented preliminary data from this project at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in December.
