Who smells? Forecasting taste and odor in a drinking water reservoir (2015)
Journal Article
Kehoe, M. J., Chun, K. P., & Baulch, H. M. (2015). Who smells? Forecasting taste and odor in a drinking water reservoir. Environmental Science and Technology, 49(18), 10984-10992. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5b00979

Taste and odor problems can impede public trust in drinking water and impose major costs on water utilities. The ability to forecast taste and odor events in source waters, in advance, is shown for the first time in this paper. This could allow water... Read More about Who smells? Forecasting taste and odor in a drinking water reservoir.

Tree rings provide early warning signals of jack pine mortality across a moisture gradient in the southern boreal forest (2015)
Journal Article
Mamet, S. D., Chun, K. P., Metsaranta, J. M., Barr, A. G., & Johnstone, J. F. (2015). Tree rings provide early warning signals of jack pine mortality across a moisture gradient in the southern boreal forest. Environmental Research Letters, 10(8), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/10/8/084021

Recent declines in productivity and tree survival have been widely observed in boreal forests. We used early warning signals (EWS) in tree ring data to anticipate premature mortality in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) - an extensive and dominant species...
