Hannah is a first year PhD student in the geography program studying snow hydrology in the western United States. She is interested in using a variety of geospatial technologies such as remote sensing, machine learning/AI, and GIS to better understand and measure how changing snow conditions impact water resources. She enjoys hiking, playing video games, starting new art projects and generally just hanging out.

Originating from Santa Rosa, CA, Maddie is a second-year master's student studying Water Resources Science in the College of Forestry. She has a growing interest in restoration projects pertaining to aquatic environments and is currently researching how large wood introductions impact stream geomorphology and coho salmon habitat in the Oregon Coast Range. In her spare time, Maddie enjoys running, hiking, practicing yoga, and lounging near bodies of water.

Originally from Alabama, Kristine is a Ph.D. student at OSU in the department of Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation. She received her Master's in Marine Conservation and Resource Management at the University of South Alabama, and moved to the PNW to work on understanding the short-term water quality effects of the Klamath Dam Removal. In her free time, she enjoys yoga, reading, and splashing around in rivers, lakes, and the ocean.

Dean was born and raised on the eastern plains of Colorado but has called Sitka Alaska home for the last 6 years. He obtained a B.S. in Watershed Science and a minor in Geology from Colorado State University and has since worked as a hydrologist on the Tongass National Forest. Dean is a second-year Masters student in Water Resources Science. His research focuses on identifying climate induced changes to the hydrologic and thermal regimes of Alaskan coastal watersheds. In his spare time, Dean loves hanging with his Dog Napali, working with ceramics, and spending time recreating and subsisting in the woods.
