Congratulations to Kira, who was awarded an Oregon State University, College of Forestry Graduate Fellowship ($6,000) and the Oregon Lottery Scholarship ($1,500). Both of these awards are granted based on academic merit.

Kira is continuing her research this summer in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, investigating the impacts of forest harvesting operations on runoff, erosion, and sediment transport into, and through, riparian buffers.

Dr. Bladon joined a delegation of colleagues from the OSU College of Forestry on an international trip to visit forestry and related programs in Chile from March 21-29, 2015. During this trip, he met with forest hydrologists in Santiago (Dr. Luca Mao, Universidad Catolica de Chile), Concepcion (Dr. Jorge Leon Munoz, Universidad de Concepcion), and Valdivia (Dr. Andres Iroumi, Univseridad Austral de Chile) to discuss watershed science.

Thank you to Julia Jones for inviting the Bladon FEWS Lab to enjoy a wonderful field day (March 17, 2015) chatting with colleagues about hydroclimate, runoff generation, and many other challenging hydrological research problems at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest.

Dr. Bladon presented a talk on 'Watershed Monitoring - Why It's Worth It' at the AWWOA Workshop - Fires, Floods, and Other Extreme Events: Is Your Utility Ready? in Banff, Alberta on March 9, 2015.
