Fall Hubbard Brook Hydropedology Meeting

October 17, 2011 / Field work, Graduate studies, Lab news, Meetings / Kevin

On Thursday afternoon our weekend was full of promise as Cody, Kevin, and I approached the airline check-in counter. We were flying to Hubbard Brook to meet with everyone on the hydropedology project for a day of meetings and then a day in the field. It was going to be fantastic. The only thing that

Hubbard Brook – unscathed from Irene’s wrath

September 1, 2011 / Lab news, Popular news / Kevin

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

Hydrolab Newbie

August 21, 2011 / Lab news / Cody Gillin

Greetings VT Hydro Lab members and followers! My name is Cody Gillin, and I’m the newest member of Kevin McGuire’s research team. I’ll spend the next two years learning all about hydropedology while pursuing a master’s degree. I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my background, and goals for my time at Virginia

Guest post: summer news from the catchment

August 16, 2011 / Field work, Lab news / Kevin McGuire

Dear Watershed 3 Fans – thought I would catch you up with some news from the catchment. We had a bit of a dry spell this summer, which was great for all the digging, coring and installing that JP and Maggie B had going on. Zimmer et al. (in review) contains a classification of stream

Hydropedology in action! Installing an intensive site in watershed 3 at Hubbard Brook.

July 24, 2011 / Field work, Project update / JP Gannon

After coming back from the Gordon conference on catchment science last week, Scott, Kevin, Rebecca, and I were all ready to get out in the field to get dirty and get to work on what we had been talking about all week at our posters at the conference. Maggie lamented our return and the subsequent

Presentations from the hydroped crew

July 5, 2011 / Lab news, Meetings / eparcell

I’m heading to Hubbard Brook today for this week’s Cooperators Meeting. This meeting is followed next week by the Gordon Research Conference on Catchment Science. Our group has a series of presentations at both meetings so it’s looking to be a busy couple of weeks. Here are a few titles of the presentations: “Hydropedology in W3:

A watershed 3 hydropedologic feature: Whatsit?

June 20, 2011 / Field work, Project update / JP Gannon

Last week, JP, Rebecca, Scott, Erik, Phoebe and I were digging soil pits for JP’s project in Watershed 3 at Hubbard Brook. About 10m upslope of these pits we began to dig the first pit for my project on the C horizon. Over the summer, I will be looking at the C horizon and characterizing

Hello, Hubbard Brook!

May 24, 2011 / Field work / JP Gannon

After a long and dreary drive I have arrived at Hubbard Brook! After getting settled and moved in to the pleasant view farm house Monday I was able to get out and see watershed 3 today. Scott and I downloaded water level recorder data and pumped water samples as we walked through a lot of

Perfect timing

April 14, 2011 / Lab news, Meetings / Kevin

I arrived at Hubbard Brook two days ago to host a small international workshop for a bunch of hydrologists. What perfect timing! Our North-Watch group is in for a real treat. We’ve had about an inch of rain and several days of mild temperatures so snowmelt is humming along. Not to mention, we might be

Continued quest for a graduate research assistant

March 1, 2011 / Assistantships / eparcell

We’ve had an announcement for a GRA position posted a couple of times since last fall (including on this blog!). There has been a fair bit of interest in the position and I’ve spoken with some excellent candidates. The next month is the last push for student recruiting. So, if you’re out there and interested

Scott Bailey visits the lab

February 15, 2011 / Lab news, Seminars, Visitors / Kevin

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

Research assistantship available

January 29, 2011 / Assistantships / Kevin

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
