Building our freshwater academic family tree
I'm working on a project to connect the members of the Society for Freshwater Science via their academic relationships, namely connections to advisors and institutions, as a proxy for influence on their scientific development. If you want to PARTICIPATE, click here.
Project: Impact of Harvesting and Wildfires on Forested Drinking Water Source Catchments
Use of Parsimonious Models to estimate impact of Forest Harvesting and Wildfires on Forested Drinking Water Source Catchments across Canada

Link to forWater Website
I will be joining a group of researchers from across Canada researching the impacts of disturbances such as wildfires on drinking water treatability in areas relying on forested source catchments. I will be exploring how the use of parsimonious models can aid in predicting sediment and carbon export from these catchments, and help researchers and experts from these catchments understand possible processes leading to this export at a broad scale.

Project: Exploring the effect of carbon and DOM quality on SWI nitrogen cycling
Exploring changes in carbon reactivity and composition, and the effect on the fate of nitrate, at a stream sediment-water interface
This work was conducted to explore how dissolved organic carbon (DOC) derived from different organic matter sources degraded within the sediment water interface (SWI), and how its reactivity or 'lability' affected nitrogen cycling and denitrification products within the SWI. Field work consisted of push-pull experiments at Augusta Creek, in Hickory Corners, MI, and additional laboratory studies were conducted by Joe-Lee Cullin and undergraduate Rachel Geiger at Michigan State. This work was supported by a Kellogg Biological Station LTER Summer Research Fellowship and a GSA Summer Research Grant, as well as the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program.

Society for Freshwater Science Annual Meeting
I had a blast at my first professional society meeting: the Society for Freshwater Science annual meeting, in Raleigh NC! The society took a strong stance for improving the environment to foster a more inclusive and diverse membership, allowing us to work together to preserve freshwater diversity. The Michigan student membership made a big step up to help organize events for the meeting next year in Detroit, and to engage the student membership in the intervening year. I also got to pinch-hit a very successful talk, and present my first year's Masters research at the poster session. Meeting so many role models and hearing so much awesome science has me riding high into the summer field season!

Zarnetske Lab members present at MSU Fate of the Earth Conference
Zarnetske Lab members Joe and Tyler presented posters at the MSU Fate of the Earth Conference, put on by the Environmental Science and Policy Program. Tyler presents on research from the 2016 summer field season at Snake Pond on Cape Cod, MA. Next stop for this research is the Society for Freshwater Science annual meeting in June!

Team Microzones travels to UConn on CUASHI travel grant
Zarnetske Lab and Microzones members Tyler and Sinchan received funding from the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science to travel to collaborators at the University of Connecticut and USGS Geophysics Branch. They met with Microzones team members Dr. Martin Briggs and Dr. Fred Day-Lewis and students to train on traditional Darcy columns instrumented with electrical-resistivity probes (developed by project member Dr. Kamini Singha) to quantify bulk sediment properties.
