Abstract season is upon us. I’ll be at AGU, where there looks to be loads of good sessions, including one on “Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions: Physical, biological, and chemical relevance“. Hopefully, my work (abstracted below) will be part of this session. Transient Storage versus Hyporheic Exchange in Low-gradient Headwater Streams A.J. …
Watershed Hydrology Lab alumna Alea Tuttle, who earned a MS in Earth Sciences with me at UNC Charlotte in Spring 2012, has described her job in environmental restoration using only the 1000 most common words in the English language. Here’s an excerpt: Part 1: How we make money by making …

No excited Gordon like at Marmot Dam, but this is one exciting “blow and go” dam removal video. This was Condit Dam on the White Salmon River in Washington in October 2011. Spectacular to watch, and even neater knowing that there was important (and hair-raising) science being done both upstream …
On Saturday, I gave a talk at the Midwest-Great Lakes Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) meeting in Wooster, Ohio. This meeting was my introduction to SER, and I was pleased by the mix of academics and practitioners and terrestrial and aquatic folks that the conference brought together. My favorite talks …
