Watershed research has been a staple of Andrews Forest science since the earliest days of the experimental forest. This includes the experimental watershed studies of streamflow, sediment yield, vegetation, and biogeochemistry, and also observations of stream-channel cross sections, landslide movement, and other topics related to water quantity and quality. Participants in this group interview represent a wide variety of disciplines and roles over much of this history: Forest Service soil scientist Dyrness, Forest Service hydrologist Grant, Forest Service information manager Henshaw, Forest Service field crew managers and members Levno, Lienkaemper, and Mersereau, and Forest Service geologist Swanson. The program involves a great deal of field work to keep instruments running and harvest the data, followed by office work to manage and analyze data, and then to publish the findings.
