VT News story on new project about forest and water interactions in New Zealand

VT News Article The Forest Flows program will focus on developing methods to predict and optimize water use and supply in planted forests to answer the questions: Where is the water? Where is it going? And who gets to use it? This new project will involve collaborators in New Zealand, Australia, and institutions in the …

New paper on streamflow response to forest management and increasing precipitation extremes

Dr. Charley Kelly, a former lab member and now with the Division of Forestry and Natural Resources, West Virginia University, had a paper accepted in Geophysical Research Letters this week.  The study re-examines several paired watershed studies from the Coweeta Hydrologic Lab, but focuses on high flows, low flows, and interactions with precipitation patterns. Abstract: Increases in extreme …
