The @HYTRACLab in the @UNLVGeoscience department at @UNLVresearch is new to twitter! We use tree rings to study:
✅ hydrology
✅ climate
✅ watersheds
✅ river & fisheries ecology
✅ extreme events
across western North America - follow us for science updates from our group!
Congratulations MS student Laura Dye on winning the best poster award at @UNLVGeoscience #GeoSymposium2020! 'Tree rings reveal multi-century snowpack dynamics of the Cascade Range' @UNLVresearch
On Friday, #HYTRACLab undergrad & MS students participated in the @UNLVGeoscience #GeoSymposium! There is still time to view their posters (w recordings) and talks - links below!
Thank you to all the amazing @UNLVGeoscience student organizers who made a remote version of #GeoSymposium2020 happen this year!
And awaiting the recording of MS student @Ingaedulisk 's talk on extreme events in the Upper Fraser River, B.C, Canada (will post)

HYTRACLab retweeted
"A persuasive, entertaining explanation of how the codes contained in tree rings reveal the effects of climate change." A lovely review of "Tree Story" by Valerie Trouet (@epispheric) in @ShelfAwareness is the cherry on top of our #EarthDay50 celebrations: shelf-awareness.com/readers-…
Great job by @Ingaedulisk defending her MS these proposal today! Here she is hoofing it up to the #ContinentalDivide trail in Pintlers Wilderness #MT to collect tree-ring data. @UNLVGeoscience @UNLVresearch
CONGRATS #HYTRACLab MS students Laura Dye & @Ingaedulisk!

.@SlackHQ has been 🔥 for our group working remotely! Here, @Ingaedulisk and I live-troubleshoot traumatic resin ducts in a Pinus engelmannii specimen from Sicamous, #BC.
When furnishing my room I never thought about adding a scope and hundreds of samples but it's a look I'm beginning to like! #ScienceFromHome #laboutpost #keepingsafe
#HYTRACLab is also preparing for remote work, doing our part for vulnerable populations with #SocialDistancing. #Tellervo dendrochronology software is making this possible via remotely-accessed server (sending scopes home with students). Dendros, if you want to set this up PM me!
UPDATE: Out of an abundance of caution, #UNLV will transition to remote instruction beginning Monday, Mar. 23, immediately following spring break.
More details will be at: unlv.edu/coronavirus
dfoliatR is out! A major effort from @ChrisGuiterman @DisturbedDendro & Ann Lynch. Congrats!

We had a 👌day in #ArrowCanyonWilderness setting up new sedimentation rate & flood study with @USGS NV Water Sci Center & @blmnv!
Extensive fines over the past ~100 years = big dunes in the background. + 100 yr old mesquite throughout canyon are loaded w flood impact scars
New Frontiers in Tree-Ring Research! Led by @swampmonstah and cast of characters from @TreeRingLabUA, looking forward to reading this!

The #HYTRACLab had a great 1-day #science retreat!
We:
- brainstormed🌲💍 #snow #proxy mechanisms
- game-planned research collabs & #stakeholder reports
- planned summer #fieldwork
- developed a shared dendro fundamentals slide deck to improve our #scicomm
- GOT OUTSIDE!👌
Be a lucky duck and work with @DisturbedDendro!
