Raven Radio - Researchers conducting landslide studies in Sitka’s forests
Dr. Adam Booth, Kyle Turchick, Bryce Vascik and David de Guzman joined KCAW’s Rich McClear in the studio for “The Morning Interview” to discuss their various landslide projects. The teams are conducting “ecosystem dynamics research”- examining how characteristics of the forest affect landslide behavior and how landslides affect the soils and forests.
The research is funded by the National Science Foundation in partnership with the Sitka Sound Science Center.

The July 21st show featured a conversation with Kyle Turchik, a graduate student just finishing up his field work in Indian River Valley. We spoke about Kyle’s project looking into what effect landslide and windthrow frequency might have on long term productivity and carbon cycling.
