Telling a story of course isn’t always easy, especially when it comes to scientific writing. The story part of a scientific paper, for example the discussion or intro, can be a real challenge. Today I was catching up on my podcasts while at the gym and I found a really interesting Radiolab episode called Me, Myself, …
Todd Scanlon is visiting us this Monday and will give a seminar on stream nitrogen dynamics from the Shenandoah Watershed Study. More information about the seminar can be found on the VWRRC website. There will also be some time for faculty and students to speak with Todd from 2:00 to 3:30 in 136B Cheatham Hall. …

Scott Bailey, a geoecologist from Northern Research Station of the US Forest Service, joins us this week to work on our ongoing research project at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire. Last summer, we were awarded an NSF grant, along with colleagues Tom Bullen and Don Ross, to examine the coupling between soil and …
One of my favorite podcasts to listen to is Radiolab. I think they do a great job of explaining the wonder of a science in a way that is entertaining and relevant. Naturally, when the topic of creating the “story” of your research came up at our last group meeting, I thought of the short …
This article was recently brought to my attention and I found it interesting and relevant to hydrology and water quality. Where would you put all of this snow? With no room to put snow, Eastern waterways beckon Feb 4, 10:40 AM (ET) By JAY LINDSAY BOSTON (AP) – Imagine the East Coast’s largest cities mixing …
My wife, Dana, is a graduate student in the higher education program here at Tech. They focus on academic or student affairs, university operations, counseling/mentoring, etc. Anyway, they are encouraged to read the The Chronicle of Higher Education on a regular basis – something all good academics should be doing. The other day Dana came across …
Rhett Jackson, from the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at University of Georgia, visited us today for a departmental seminar. His topic on forestry best management practices (BMPs) was interesting especially the question at the heart of his talk…how good is good enough? The point he made is that while there are some …
We are still recruiting a second graduate student to join us on our NSF funded hydropedology project. This study focuses on the overlap between hydrology, soil development, and biogeochemistry. We are using LIDAR data to map landforms and develop spatial predictions of soil types and dominant flowpaths in headwater catchments at the Hubbard Brook Experimental …
We have 2 new members joining our group this semester…JP and Kris. They are both PhD students in FREC. JP was working with the Virginia Rural Water Association in SW VA and Kris just finished his MS at LSU. JP will work on our hydropedology project at Hubbard Brook and Kris will work on a …
