🌲 Welcome to OSU, Lutz Klein! 🌲
We’re thrilled to introduce our newest visiting scholar, Lutz Klein, joining us in the Forest Engineering, Resources, and Management (FERM) Department!
Lutz is a PhD candidate and research assistant with the Hydrology Lab at the Institute of Geography at the University of Bonn, Germany. During his three-month stay at OSU, he’ll be collaborating with Professor Catalina Segura on the “Fire-Stream” project—investigating the effects of the 2023 Lookout Wildfire on water flow paths and water quality in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. 💧🔥
When he’s not gathering data in the field or working on hydrological modeling, you can find Lutz biking, bouldering, or enjoying the Pacific Northwest outdoors. 🚲🧗♂️
Be sure to say hello if you see him around campus! Welcome to the Beaver family, Lutz! 🦫✨
