TRIAGE Graduate Students Present at the 2023 Geological Society of America Meeting
Two PhD students in the Schwartz Groundwater Ecology Lab presented posters at this year’s Geological Society of America meeting in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. They both showcased some of the really cool research TRIAGE students are working on!
Eryl Austin-Bingamon’s poster, “INTERPOLATING FLOW REGIME AT UNGAGED SITES TO ASSESS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE HYPORHEIC INVERTEBRATE COMMUNITY”, showed how flow intermittency in surface water and hydraulic conductivity in the hyporheic zone, the ecotone between surface water and groundwater, affect the abundance and composition of the hyporheic invertebrate community.
Caroline Mierzejewski’s poster, “HYPORHEIC EXCHANGE IN TEXAS RIVERS: LINKS BETWEEN FLUXES AND INVERTEBRATE RICHNESS AND DIVERSITY“, showed how groundwater fluxes and hydraulic conductivity in the hyporheic zone affect the species richness and diversity of the hyporheic invertebrate community.
