Take me home count-tree throw - with Emily Throop

Earth on the Rocks

About

Today on the show we have Emily Throop, a masters student focusing on the impacts of tree throw (the divot and mound of soil a tree leaves when it is uprooted) on landscape evolution. Hear about Emily's beginnings in informatics, her experience with GIS and how she used it when she worked for an environmental consulting firm, how tree throw may impact the rockiness of a hill slope, what it's like teaching as a graduate student, and some great book recs.
