Virtual opening for Ecology exhibition.
Groffman’s talk will provide an overview of Hubbard Brook research, with a focus on why the site is well known and how the watershed approach has been fundamental in Environmental Science.
Join us the artist and scientist collaborators from "Field Station" come together for a panel discussion about ArtSci programs at research stations.
Opening: Emerging: Annual PSU Student Art Exhibition on Wednesday, March 1, 4:00-6:00 pm
Soil and rocks provide the foundation for ecosystems in the White Mountains. They supply nutrients, sequester carbon, and support an intricate web of life above and below. This talk explores how patterns of topography, hydrology, and vegetation form soils and break down rocks at Hubbard Brook. These patterns lead to differences in nutrient content and carbon sequestration across the landscape. Join us in zooming across different scales to investigate unique and surprising features in till and bedrock. These features are then connected with the overall geological and ecological context. This presentation will give attendees a new perspective on what’s going on underground in the forests of the White Mountains.
Celebrating artistic achievements by area youth, this exhibit is presented in collaboration with area art teachers. This exhibit provides a month-long moment and space to highlight the excellent educational experiences art teachers have developed, making visible both the magic of the artworks, and the design and intention of the educator that makes it possible.
Dense cold air tends to settle into valleys under certain weather conditions and is believed to have a strong influence on the function and biodiversity of forest ecosystems. This presentation will examine recent temperature data collected from around the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest to understand several aspects of cold air pools: when and how often they occur, how deep they can be, how cold they get, their seasonality, and the large scale weather patterns that most often cause them to form and dissipate.
