I’ll be presenting recent graduate Brandon Blue’s work on urban stream temperatures in the urban hydrology session at the GSA meeting this fall. The following abstract will pair nicely with Charles’s work on stormwater management and stream temperatures. Characterizing the effects of hydrometeorology and stream networks on urban stream temperature …
It is GSA abstract season, and with the conference coming to Charlotte and a session on urban hydrology being convened, there has been a flurry of activity by Anne and her students. Here’s the first abstract to be submitted. First author, Charles Safrit, is an undergraduate geology major who participated …
