Excited to get my first PhD chapter out! So many thanks to my amazing co-authors Todd Dawson, Claire Tiedeman, John Stella, and @albertruhi.bsky.social

Groundwater and Remotely Sensed Phenology Reveal Vulnerability of Riparian Trees to Drought We asked how vulnerable riparian trees are to droughts, examining their water use and growing season timing and duration via groundwater data and satellite imagery. Drought shortened the growing seas...

How vulnerable are riparian trees to drought? Using groundwater and satellite data from a California waterhsed, our new paper found that trees by drying rivers lost up to 5 weeks of growing season, suggesting they’re nearing critical groundwater limits.

A really cool paper from our incredibly talented former undergraduate, Amin al-Jamal (so far bluesky-less) is out in Ecology! It’s also my first senior author paper! We looked at the feeding habits of everyone’s “favorite” predatory stream insect—the giant water bug.
