Cross-continental collaboration through the Scientist Exchange Program
Far from his home in Potsdam, Germany, Christian Mohr attended the third Coastal Rainforest Margins Research Network (CRMRN) workshop in Juneau, Alaska last March. Along the way, he had the opportunity to finally meet with distant collaborators working in his field and make connections from his research in the temperate rainforests of Patagonia to theContinue reading Cross-continental collaboration through the Scientist Exchange Program
Coastal Margin Webinar Series: Fall 2019
Announcing the fall Coastal Margin Webinar series! Hear the latest in coastal rainforest margin science from CRMRN network members each month this fall. For a list of upcoming webinars and registration information, visit the Coastal Margin Webinar page. If you are interested in presenting at a future webinar, please contact Molly Tankersley.
Student Spotlight: Liz Kreitinger
The CRMRN will be sharing Q&As with graduate and postdoctoral network members throughout the summer and fall. Stay tuned! Meet Liz Kreitinger. Liz is an MS/PhD student in the Soil and Water Lab at Cornell University. With her advisor Todd Walter and CRMRN steering committee member Dave D’Amore, she is studying how watersheds process nutrients,Continue reading Student Spotlight: Liz Kreitinger
Digging for answers in the temperate rainforest
A spray of rust-colored soil lands with a thud in the forest surrounding Juneau’s John Muir trail, disturbing the devil’s club for a moment. Over his shoulder, UAF soil scientist Diogo Noses Spinola is deftly swinging a shovelful of dirt downhill of us. He takes a break to let Raquel Portes, his partner and fellowContinue reading Digging for answers in the temperate rainforest
Can yellow-cedar recover from climate-driven declines?
Across the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska, a change is taking root. Warming winters are reducing snowpack in the region and causing a massive decline in a culturally, economically, and ecologically important tree species; yellow-cedar. Yellow-cedar trees are adapted with fine, shallow roots that allow them to respond to early spring warming and get aContinue reading Can yellow-cedar recover from climate-driven declines?
