Summer field work begins

May 8, 2012

As the semester winds down, grad students John Crawford and Luke Loken have gotten a jump on summer field work.  John has migrated north to Trout Lake Station to study carbon dynamics in regional streams as part of his dissertation work with LTER and the USGS WEBB program.  Luke made an early trip to the Midwest to get involved in the inaugural sampling at the St. Louis River Estuary in April, where he'll be doing his thesis research.

Big week in the lab!

Congratulations to Steve Powers for his successful dissertation defense on 20 March, and thanks for the valuable input provided by his committee (Steve Carpenter, Steve Loheide, Dale Robertson, and Eric Roden). 

Then following Steve's lead, John Crawford defended his masters the following morning on 21 March.  John's committee members Rob Striegl and Kim Wickland made the trip from the Colorado USGS office to join Eric Roden for John's defense. 

Job well done Gentlemen!

LTEArts in the news

March 13, 2012

The "Drawing Water" art-science collaboration has joined similar LTEArts efforts from other LTER sites as part of an exhibit currently at the National Science Foundation and was featured in an NSF newsletter.  Later this year, the exhibit will travel to the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of American in Portland, OR in August and then the LTER All Scientists Meeting in Estes Park, CO in September.  See the UW press release at:

Congrats to Noah and Bryn
