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: …
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 …
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, 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 …
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 …
