Kris Brown published his first journal paper: sediment delivery from forest roads at stream crossings

/ Lab news, Research paper /

Kris Brown had his first journal article accepted this week in Forest Ecology and Management.  Congrats Kris!! Abstract: Forest road stream crossing approaches, or the section of road immediately adjacent to the stream crossing, represent primary sources and nearly direct pathways for sediment delivery to stream channels. This research quantified sediment delivery rates associated with reopening […]

Review article on forest operations and sediment in the Piedmont by Kris Brown

/ Lab news, Review paper /

Proceedings from the 18th Central Hardwood Forest Conference in 2012 were published this week.  Kris Brown has a nice review paper in the proceedings that documents BMP implementation and effectiveness for water quality protection associated with forest roads and skid trails, streamside management zones, harvesting, site preparation, and stream crossings.  It’s the first synthesis of research

New article on changes in winter climate and DOC

/ Lab news, Research paper /

A paper from our North-Watch project was accepted and published online today.  The findings suggest that one likely consequence of warmer winters in northern regions is that the proportion of the annual DOC and water export will increase during winter and decrease during spring and summer.   Laudon, H., D. Tetzlaff, C. Soulsby, S. Carey,

New paper on threshold-based hydrological theory

/ Lab news /

McGuire is a coauthor on an invited commentary in the journal Hydrological Processes titled “Towards a unified threshold-based hydrological theory: necessary components and recurring challenges.”  The paper developed from a session at last year’s American Geophysical Union meeting where the lead author and coauthors were the conveners and select speakers from the session.  The paper explores
