GES student published in Journal of Hydrology

Kudos to Emma Bialecki, one of our new Geography PhD students. Her co-authored article "A multi-century tree-ring record of spring flooding on the Mississippi River” appears in the October 2015 issue of Journal of Hydrology.  Outstanding work in an excellent venue, the study combines analyses of tree-ring wood anatomy, flood hydrology, and synoptic climatology.  Congratulations Emma!
