Abstract: Evaluating the success of urban stream restoration in an ecosystem services and watershed context
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 …
Urban geography faculty position at Kent State University
The following ad describes the fourth position of the new cluster of which I am part. Come join the team of amazing scientists at Kent State University.

USGS primer on urban streams
Upcoming lecture at Ashland University
This Thursday, September 20th at 7:30 pm, I’ll be giving a public lecture at Ashland University as part of their Environmental Lecture Series. This year’s theme is “The Ecology of Urban Living” and I’ll be talking about “the science of streams in the city” (abstract below). The lecture is open …
Abstract: Evaluating restoration effects on transient storage and hyporheic exchange in urban and forested streams

Abstract: Characterizing the effects of hydrometeorology and stream networks on urban stream temperature response to precipitation
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 …
Call for GSA abstracts on urban hydrology and anthropogenic geomorphology
I’m convening two fantastic sessions at the upcoming Geological Society of America meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina on November 4-7, 2012. For both sessions there are incredible invited speakers lined up, and all we need to make them an overwhelming success is a strong showing of contributed abstracts. That’s where …
AGU 2011 abstract from our NSF stormwater project
I’m not claiming credit for this project, as it was as undergraduate summer research project advised by my collaborator Sara McMillan, but it is one tangible bit of results that have come out of our NSF-funded stormwater project. More good things are coming soon. The following poster was presented at …
