Thrilled to start our work in the ridge and swale ecosystems formed on relic beaches along Lake Michigan’s shore. They are amazing ecosystems that support coastal wetlands,forests & rare orchids!!
Check out our new project searching for water-energy-food and environmental wins with agrivoltaics! If you're a postdoc or student interested in joining the team with @Chris_Kucharik, @profdesai , and Josh Arnold @SustainUW let me know!

We are looking for 1 (or 2?) postdocs to join the Hydroeco Lab! We're investigating the provisioning of ecosystem services in working landscapes across food, energy, water, and environmental (FEWE) systems.

We are searching for win-win-win-win opportunities across FEWE systems involving managed aquifer recharge, smart tile-drainage, & agrivoltaics. Variably-saturated groundwater flow modeling skills and interest in field work a plus. Email me your CV to apply!
Spring has officially arrived in Madison and it’s been a great week for fieldwork!!! If you’re looking for Hannah (in pond) your best bet is to head to one of the 20 stormwater ponds she’s monitoring to evaluate both the in-pond and downstream ecosystem services they provide!
However, if it’s Eric who you need, you’d better head out to Fish Lake where he’s seeking to understand the causes of ongoing groundwater flooding. But, make sure to bring your boots so you can help with well installation!
CUAHSI is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2023 Biennial! Take advantage of the early-bird rates good until April 15th! The deadline to register is May 8th.

Congratulations William on passing your quals! When you’re done with your dissertation, we will have a much better, mechanistic understanding of the role street trees play in reducing urban runoff!
Wahoo Katrina! Amazing timing for your research to hit the streets - right in the middle of one of those increasingly frequent mid-winter melts here in WI! It remains to be seen whether we will get a major freeze back leading to impermeable ground prior to the next snowfall...
The relationships between snow, midwinter melt events, frozen ground, and recharge are complicated. Hyman-Rabeler & Loheide explore these relationships by studying key factors causing variation in historical recharge.
Check out their results: fal.cn/3uRYS#AGUPubs
ALT Conceptual model of how midwinter melt and subsequent freezeback events can create nearly impermeable frozen soil.
Great surprise today! Our Fen Feedback paper just got published by @EcohydrologyEds as OPEN ACCESS for FREE thanks to a pilot program with @BigTenAcademic!
Key Point: Hydrologic change --> veg change --> soil change --> more hydrologic changes.....

Shout out to @UWMadison and @HydroecoLab alum Sam Zipper on being named the Kohout Early Career Award winner! A truly amazing scientist and person working to make the world a better place!
In celebration of sending my PhD preliminary proposal to my committee, here is my graphical outline of my chapters! Looking forward to such a fun series of projects!! #AcademicChatter#UrbanGreening
Happy Equinox! Streamflow is up and the meadows are beginning to contemplate waking up from their slumber. Chance of snow next weekend might just be the snooze button they are searching for!
We're on sabbatical in Truckee, CA and it looks like we've already gotten ~4 years worth of Madison's typical snowfall up here! Let's see what Jan, Feb, and March have in store!!
NEW DECEMBER RECORD: 193.7"
With a 24 hour official #snow total of 38.9" at the lab, we have smashed the previous record of 179" of snow in December set in 1970!
Snow rates are still heavy and we could even break the 200" mark today!
