Tis the season!
4 panel meme with a small bird and a crow. Panel 1: small bird says “it’s our first big snow of the year!” Panel 2: small bird says “I can’t wait too..” but a larger yellow speech bible says “FACETS” Panel 3: A crow on another branch is in the foreground squawking “THIS STORM IS JUST GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF FACETS” Panel 4: tight image on the small bird, it looks annoyed. In the background there is a text bubble from the crow “YOU SHOULD HOPE IT DOESNT START SNOWING TILL DECEMBER”

Wrapped up field work for 2025 today!
Blown away by just how dramatic the impacts of restoration efforts have been already.
Panoramic image looking at a montane meadow in the high park fire burn scar. Looking up stream at willows, grasses, and substantial sediment deposition upstream of a previously installed post assisted log structure (PAL) Soil core with a fresh layer of organic layer overlaying newly deposited sands covering the precious O + A horizons.

Some pretty dramatic planform shifts following large wood installation. First time point for the field season in the books!
Wide angle view looking at a stream in a burned forest. Wood structures span the channel at points. Water overtopping post assisted log structures in late March. A new flow path going over now browned grasses laterally from behind a channel spanning post assisted log structure.

Super fun to toss on the sticks and help out with the Fraser Experimental Forest’s Annual Snow Survey this year!
Holding a notebook in the foreground, there are two skiers holding a federal snow sampler in the midst of a clear cut forest in the background in the Fraser Experimental Forest Photo of myself balancing a federal sampler on the hanging scale in order to measure snow water equivalent in a dense, snowy, mixed spruce and fir forest.
