Latest cool KOLA image

We get lots of cool images from the cameras we use at University of Nebraska for our image-based water level measurement research. This latest one is new for me. My understanding is that it is a screech owl. Honestly, this is the funnest part of the job. Dr. Mary Harner collects all the images with something interesting in them from the Kearney Outdoor Learning Area (KOLA) she manages on Turkey Creek near the high school in Kearney, Nebraska. It truly is amazing what shows up and we feel like we are really getting to know the raccoon family who are some of our most frequent visitors.

Christian honors math degree

Lorena found this in a file box today when she was looking for some tax documents for me. It reminded me of how proud we are of Christian’s hard work and dedication throughout his Bachelor’s and PhD degree and then on to his current research scientist position at MIT. As graduation approaches and we get invited to high school graduation ceremonies, it is nice to remember Christian graduated summa cum laude with an honors degree in Applied Mathematics from NCSU as his same age peers were graduating from high school. We are going to frame this and put it on the wall beside his diplomas.

Post doctoral research

I just got notice of approval to become an adjunct professor at University of Nebraska–Lincoln. It is not official yet, but it appears that all the required approvals have come through. In the meantime, I am working on a paper based on an extended version of the fourth chapter of my dissertation that we hope to get published soon. This picture is of the University of Nebraska–Kearney team putting up infrastructure for a second post-doctoral paper on measurement of water level with very small (staff gauge-size) calibration targets for the purposes of crowd-sourcing and less obtrusive targets in streams. Really appreciate Dr. Mary H. and the work her team does to support all this.
