This abstract was just submitted to the European Geosciences Union meeting for a session on “NH9.9. Natural hazard impact on technological systems and urban areas.” I won’t get to go to Vienna in April, but at least a little bit of my science will. Thanks to Natalia for finding a …
Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous I’m not joining the exodus of geoscientists to AGU this week; I’m still recovering from November. I’m not sure whether I spent more time in Ohio or outside of it last month. The month started with the rain and runoff from our brush with Superstorm Sandy, …
These maps have come in awfully handy as I’m getting my bearings on Ohio’s geography, geology, and hydrology. Physiographic regions of Ohio Bedrock geology map Glacial map of Ohio Ohio 8-digit hydrologic units Ohio’s rivers (Figure B-1 on page 8 of the 2012 Integrated Report by Ohio EPA has more …
Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous Leaving behind Ohio and the high waters from Sandy, I ventured south in early November for the Geological Society of America meeting in my former home of Charlotte, North Carolina. The meeting was busy and wonderful, and far too packed for me to hear as much …
Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous It’s been quite a week. My home in northeastern Ohio got off lightly from “Superstorm” Sandy, compared to places closer to the Atlantic seaboard and in the Caribbean. But still, over 250,000 people lost power due to high wind, especially in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties along …
Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous If you live in the eastern 1/3 of the US and you haven’t started paying attention to Hurricane Sandy, today is THE day. This odd late-season storm is going to hit the northeastern and mid-Atlantic coast hard, having already stormed across the Caribbean, killing at least …
I am seeking a MS or PhD student to conduct research focusing on urban hydrology at the watershed or stream-reach scale. Research will likely involve a significant field component, but may also include stable isotope and water quality lab work, GIS analyses, watershed modeling, or use of historical data. A …
Cross-posted at Highly Allochthonous There’s nothing particularly deterministic about starting a new year on January 1st. Our wall calendars happen to do so because of the circumstances of history. For hydrologists in the northern hemisphere, January 1st is not a great time to declare one year dead and a new …

I’ll be at the 2013 Upper Midwest Stream Restoration Symposium in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in February. Even though the conference focuses on the Upper Midwest (of which Ohio is a part), I’m going to be talking about work from the southeastern US. Of course, the conference will be a great chance …
