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

Event Date: 
Wednesday, November 7, 2018
Event Brief Description: 

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.

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.

Forestry Sciences Lab, 3200 SW Jefferson Way, Room 20.  9 - 11 AM.

Openings: Two PhD Positions

News Brief Description: 

Two PhD-level graduate student positions are open at the University of Indiana. Research will be focused on hydrodynamics in mountain streams, particularly along the stream-hyporheic-riparian-hillslope continuum during dynamic events (e.g., storms, snowmelt runoff).  One student will focus on catchment-scale experiments, monitoring, and modeling in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest (Oregon, USA). The second will focus on storm responses in connectivity and hyporheic exchange in Indiana streams, including manipulation of both surface- and groundwater levels at the reach scale.
