Hubbard Brook – unscathed from Irene’s wrath

September 1, 2011 May 24, 2019 / Lab news, Popular news / By 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 …

A watershed 3 hydropedologic feature: Whatsit?

June 20, 2011 September 21, 2022 / Field work, Project update / By 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 …

Perfect timing

April 14, 2011 May 24, 2019 / Lab news, Meetings / By 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 …
