Assessing Thermal Regimes of Headwater Streams
I served as the project manager for a ~$100K research award investigating the influence of stream channel and valley morphology on hyporheic exchange and river temperature. Under direction of the PIs, I coordinated and conducted fieldwork in Oregon, Washington, and Montana, developed and implemented data logger deployment techniques, downloaded data loggers, managed and analyzed field data. I applied a computer simulation model to identify expected stream temperature response signatures to variation in the rate and magnitude of hyporheic exchange.
