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

May 24, 2019 / Lab news, Research paper / By

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 …

New article on changes in winter climate and DOC

December 18, 2012 / Lab news, Research paper / By

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, …
