About the study
Dr. Matt Therrell (UA Department of Geography) and Dr. Glenn Tootle (UA Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering) and a team of two graduate (Ashton Greer and Matt Meko) and seven undergraduate (Siera Jann, Caitlin Koranda, Natalie Leder, Aubrey Loria, Mallory Mitchell, Thomas Moat, Sam Spector) researchers traveled from The University of Alabama to the Choctawhatchee River in the Florida panhandle to collect tree ring data from Bald Cypress trees in order to conduct research on reconstructing streamflow. The study is funded by the Geological Survey of Alabama and the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium.
Special thanks to Mr. Bruner for access to the tree sampling sites and to the Geological Survey of Alabama and the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium for their support.
