The student will receive broad training in forest hydrology by contributing to a range of research projects as a member of the Forest Ecohydrology and Watershed Science (FEWS) laboratory (http://fews.forestry.oregonstate.edu/). For example, the student will be exposed to research projects investigating the impacts of forest harvesting, wildfire, or post-fire forest management operations on stream hydrology, soil-water dynamics, physical water quality (i.e., stream temperature, sediment), chemical water quality, and aquatic ecosystem health. Studies occur both in the laboratory and in the field at the hillslope, stream reach, and watershed scale in forested, headwater catchments of Oregon. More specifically, the student will be introduced to concepts and field techniques in basic hydrological measurements (e.g., stage, discharge), soil hydraulic properties measurements (e.g., infiltration, soil moisture), micrometeorological measurement (e.g., rain gauges, air temperature, wind speeds, radiation, etc.), water quality measurements (e.g., stream temperature, turbidity, sediment, etc.). The student will also gain valuable experience regarding laboratory analysis of soils to quantify hydraulic properties and carbon and nitrogen concentrations. Moreover, the student will also gain experience in data QA/QC techniques and proper archiving of data in the laboratory after field data has been collected. One of the most important learning aspects that the protégé will receive while working in my lab is basic field safety (e.g., check-in protocols, hazard awareness, etc.), which is critical for safety throughout their career. The specific work schedule is flexible and will be co-developed with the mentor and student based on the students’ availability.
