Tommy Cianciolo’s work has been published in Science of the Total Environment! The article is titled “Impacts to water quality and biota persist in mining-influenced Appalachian streams.” This article investigates salinization from surface coal mining in central Appalachian headwater streams. Salinization is associated with alterations of benthic macroinvertebrate communities, as many organisms…
Tommy Cianciolo’s work on selenium bioaccumulation has been accepted for publication in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry! The title of the article is “Selenium bioaccumulation across trophic levels and along a longitudinal gradient in headwater streams.” This article provides a field‐based assessment of selenium bioaccumulation in headwater food chains, from streamwater…
Damion Drover, a former Ph.D. student with Dr. Schoenholtz at the Virginia Tech Forest Hydrology and Soils Lab, has published a paper in Hydrobiologia. The study assesses mining-origin stressors (particularly elevated salinity) on benthic macroinvertebrate community structure in headwater streams. The paper is titled “Multiple stressors influence benthic macroinvertebrate communities…
Damion Drover, a former Ph.D. student with Dr. Schoenholtz at the Virginia Tech Forest Hydrology and Soils Lab, has published a paper in Ecological Indicators. The paper is titled “Using density, dissimilarity, and taxonomic replacement to characterize mining-influenced benthic macroinvertebrate community alterations in central Appalachia.” View paper here.
Daniel DeBruler, a former M.Sc. student of Dr. Schoenholtz, has published a paper in Geoderma. The paper is based in part on DeBruler’s M.Sc. work and is titled “Soil phosphorus fractions vary with harvest intensity and vegetation control at two contrasting Douglas-fir sites in the Pacific northwest.” View paper here.
Tony Timpano and Tommy Cianciolo presented at the 2019 Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. The meeting was May 19 – 23, 2019. The theme of the meeting was Translational Ecology in Freshwater Science. Tony presented “Does Sampling Timing Matter? Investigating When to Sample…
Congratulations to Tommy Cianciolo for successfully defending his Master’s thesis on May 7, 2019! His thesis title is “The temporal and longitudinal extent of surface coal mining influences on water chemistry and benthic macroinvertebrates in central Appalachian headwater streams.”
