We had a couple of new papers come out this week. One is from our North-Watch project, which is a collaborative project aimed at predicting the integrated consequences of climate change on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water resources in experimental watersheds in sensitive northern climates. The other paper is from an education project […]

Brad Bowers recently joined the group as a field technician for the Hubbard Brook Hydropedology project. Brad will be responsible for collecting water samples, tending to field equipment, and helping with field-based activities on the project. He is also beginning his M.S. program this fall with Dr. Mark Green at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.
It is hard to believe that the summer field season is almost over here at Hubbard Brook. Time flies when you are having fun. Whether believable or not, the summer is just about gone, so we’ll be saying goodbye to our Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) student, Bridget O’Neill next week. Bridget has been an

Earlier this year I was awarded a grant from the INTERFACE network based at Purdue University to travel to Utrecht in the Netherlands to work with Dr. Karin Rebel on an ecohydrological model. The grant is aimed at facilitating collaborative exchange between modelers and experimentalists, and as I am more of an experimentalist but have

About a month ago, JP and Cody drove up to Hubbard Brook to spend their spring break running a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey in Watershed 3 to estimate depth to bedrock and glacial till thickness. Both JP and Cody’s projects are part of our Hydropedology project, which is focused on explaining the spatial and temporal variation

Scott Bailey sent an update from Hubbard Brook earlier this week. There was no major damage to the forest or to any instrumentation including our experimental sites in WS3. Rainfall amounts were in the 4+ inch range, which puts Hurricane Irene as the 9th largest precipitation event at HB since monitoring began in 1956. The
