Applications for the Hubbard Brook Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program are due by February 6 – that’s just 3 weeks away! We are seeking a student to work on a hillslope hydrology project looking at how water travels through soils on its way to streams in forested ecosystems. See our post from Dec. 11th …

Brad Bowers recently joined the group as a field technician for the Hubbard Brook Hydropedology project. Brad will be responsible for collecting water samples, tending to field equipment, and helping with field-based activities on the project. He is also beginning his M.S. program this fall with Dr. Mark Green at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire. …
The National Science Foundation is funding two REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) positions at Hubbard Brook this summer as part of the Long Term Ecological Research program (see the HBRF webpage for details or our opportunities webpage) ($5000 stipend for the summer + living expenses). One of the those positions is with our Hydropedology project and …

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 …
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 …
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 …
