Long a site of collaborative research for scientists, for the last decade the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest has encouraged artists to join their ongoing conversations. The artists in the exhibition have all spent time in the forest and with the scientists. While the form of their work varies, all of it is in conversation with the ecosystems of the forest and the research community.
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.
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.
