Spring has sprung on my two burned hillslopes!

The fire has given these herbaceous flowers a chance to breathe and they’re really taking advantage of the little bit of rain we got over winter break.

Soil Coring

Yesterday I went out to Long Grade and used a soil core, with the help of my family, to take samples of the creekbed at four sites (2, 4, 6, 8). With the soil I will be able to identify any stratification among the soil samples that may indicate erosion or deposition during rain events in the channel.
