New paper showing alternative source of stream dissolved organic carbon in a headwater catchment

April 11, 2019 / Lab news, Research paper / By

JP Gannon just had another paper accepted in Water Resources Research this week.  The study suggests that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in headwater streams may be generated from shallow to bedrock regions in the catchment, which mostly occur near the catchment divides and channel heads.  The study also suggests that hydropedological patterns are critical to understanding DOC …

New paper on lidar DEM evaluation by Cody Gillin

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

Gillin, C.P., Bailey, S.W., McGuire, K.J., Prisley, S.P., 2015. Evaluation of lidar-derived DEMs through terrain analysis and field comparison, Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, 81(5): 387-396, doi: 10.14358/PERS.81.5.387. Abstract Topographic analysis of watershed-scale soil and hydrological processes using digital elevation models (DEMs) is commonplace, but most studies have used DEMs of 10 m resolution or coarser. …

New paper on the hydropedology of Hubbard Brook

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

A new paper was accepted this week in the journal Geoderma.  The paper shows how spatial patterns of soil development reflect the influence of transient groundwater within the soil profile in nearly all landscape positions throughout a headwater catchment at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest.  This study was initiated by Patricia Brousseau’s REU project in 2008. …

Project update: Spring break ground-penetrating radar & REU

May 24, 2019 / Field work, Lab news, Project update, Undergraduate research / By

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 …
