Prof. Snyder co-authors a paper on erosion and land-use change in a Maine watershed

The paper, "Timber harvest and flood impacts on sediment yield in a postglacial, mixed-forest watershed, Maine, USA" was published in Anthropocene. The work is part of a collaborative project by Noah Snyder and Tim Cook conducted when they were Bullard Fellows at Harvard Forest in 2018-2019. Using a 1200-year record provided by sediment cores from a Maine lake, they found a three-fold increase in sediment yield after land-use changes associated with timber harvest occurred in the watershed around 1900.
