Skills detecting birds by sight and sound? Keen on hiking off trail in the mountains? We're looking for field technicians/ interns for May-July 2024 to help us collect bird population data following the Lookout Fire at the HJ Andrews Forest: jobs.oregonstate.edu/posting…

🚨Hot off the press🚨
Check out our new publication on stream temperature responses to forest riparian harvesting practices in northern California. Thanks to my collaborators @H2OScientist and @Segura_Lab
Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1i86L…
Findings 👇
ALT We modeled stream temperature responses after implementing 4 different riparian harvesting prescriptions in northern California, USA forest headwaters. Canopy shade (%) reduced significantly in sites with 50% of one side of the riparian area harvested (PRE) compared to control sites (REF) and other treatments (ASP and HCP). But those treatments were small to lead to changes in stream temperature. Seasonal random forest models revealed that responses in stream temperature were mostly driven by changes in climate and catchment physiography.

The Lookout fire at the @HJA_Live Andrews Forest is now >7000 ha and covers 2/3 of our landscape. Hard to see some or Oregon’s last 10% old growth and study sites burn. We’ll know about severity once the smoke clears. andrewsforest.oregonstate.ed… @USLTER

‘Tis the season for reviewing dossiers.
Holistic evaluation - valuing ALL types of contributions - matters. You can cite this in your letter as documentation for the breadth of content in #hydrology.

Pleased to say @HJA_Live has finished a fun and interesting week at our @USLTER @NSF mid-term review! Thanks @Segura_Lab @posybusby @BrookePenaluna and many others for your devotion to this research and forest, and to panelists for all of your time and thoughtful questions!

Being professional is upholding high standards in low moments.
It's caring to do a good job even in jobs we don't love; treat others with respect even if we're disrespected; and do right even if we're wronged.
We earn trust by refusing to compromise on competence or character.

🚨1st postdoc publication! We investigated seasonal stream temperature hysteresis during storm events and its relationship to catchment physiography. Thanks to the brilliant minds involved @Segura_Lab and @H2OScientist. Link below 👇#headwaters #forest_hydrology #AcademicTwitter
ALT The hysteretic behavior of stream temperature (Ts) varied across seasons—the greatest HI occurred during spring and summer. The drivers of Ts response during storms are likely dependent on catchment physiography. Ts hysteresis variability in McGarvey streams co-varied with topographic metrics, whilst in Tectah, Ts hysteresis co-varied with meteorological metrics.

In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side.
Even if you can't help them feel better, you can always help them feel seen.
The best way to support others is not to cheer them up. It's to show up.

This postdoc position focused on microclimate and forest biodiversity is still open and we're accepting applications until Nov.30. The HJ Andrews @HJA_Live @USLTER is a fantastic community (both human and forest)! Start date (somewhat) negotiable. Please retweet.
Interested in species distributions, microclimate and old-growth forests? Are you a PhD field ecologist with strong quant skills? Excellent postdoc opportunity at the HJ Andrews LTER @HJA_Live @USLTER in Oregon (@OregonState). Please come and work with us! gradschool.oregonstate.edu/p…

Shouting in the dark. And no one heard. For you, Tom. For your family. For the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences. For the University of Arizona you loved and were so proud of.

(1/3) Sad News. It is with broken hearts we must report that our cherished colleague Professor Thomas Meixner, Chair of the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences, was killed October 5th in his office at the University of Arizona.
