Monthly meetings are used to share science, news, and opportunities related to the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest and Long-Term Ecological Research program. We start with a science hour and then move into program news and announcements. Anyone is welcome to attend.  Monthly meetings are on the first Friday of the month during the academic year, from 9 AM - 11 AM. The next meetings will be March 6, April 3, May 1, June 5.

Francisco Guerrero-Bolano, PhD Candidate, Sustainable Forest Management and Water Resources Science. Major professor: Jeff Hatten

Dissertation Defense: “Biogeochemical signals of watersheds’ response to disturbance”

In his research, Francisco looks at long-term records (30-1500 years) of biogeochemical signals that result from the interaction between streamflow, sediment transport and nutrient cycling in forested landscapes. Francisco combines detailed physical-chemical analysis of sediments with fundamental principles derived from the mathematical theory of information to gain mechanistic insights on ecosystem behavior. By understanding the biogeochemical signals of watersheds response to disturbance, Francisco’s research aims to gain insights into integrated resilience assessments in forested watersheds of the Pacific Northwest.

Wednesday, November 7, 2 PM. 361 Strand Hall
