Lily Newton visits from New Mexico Tech

Lily Newton, an ecohydrology PhD student at New Mexico Tech (Andrew is an external member of her committee) traveled from Socorro, New Mexico, to Flagstaff to learn more about the lab’s work and to share her planned PhD research with the group. During her 3-day visit (thanks to Jen for hosting Lily and giving her a place to stay!), we had a well-attended happy hour at Wanderlust and lunch at Swadee Thai, and Lily had the chance to interact with lab members and learn about the kinds of science we do, and how we do it (phenocams, trace gas measurements, dendrometers, flux towers, and so on). Some of Lily’s work will be conducted at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, where Jacob and Andrew are collaborators on the Mean-Variance Experiment.
