tEffects of Disturbance on Forested Catchments

Many of the research questions we ask focus on understanding the effects of disturbances on forested watersheds, particularly the impacts of forest management and climate change on streamflow, sediment transport, stream temperature, and aquatic ecology. In doing so, we also consider the natural variability and intrinsic characteristics of the landscape. We rely on observations and experiments, often using data collected over multiple decades.
