Thank you for sharing resources in . My list keeps growing thanks to all the contributions and for those who have made their materials available!

A few days ago I started saving links to online videos, lectures, and various teaching resources for hydrology as I began to think about how I would transition my course to an online format for the…

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 US. See also Ph.D. student opportunity and Scion's press release on the project.

Nathaniel and Jenny running the Shaw Drill We’ve had a busy couple of weeks at Hubbard Brook. Last week was the beginning of the REU program. We have two excellent students, Nathaniel Rasnake and Delaney Peterson, from Virginia Tech who are both working on our lateral weathering project. This week was the LTER site mid-term review of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study… [ 232 more words ]

We are seeking applicants for a Ph.D. research assistantship in the biogeochemistry of forested ecosystems. Research will focus on the fate and transport of weathering products across spatial gradients within watersheds. Project goals include characterizing dynamic solute fluxes that will help us understand how ecosystems respond to and recover from different global change drivers. The project is based at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest ( [ 201 more words ]
