From the Field to the Lab Furnace: Wrapping Up Soil Sampling in Wyoming – Myroslav Bur

Posted on by Josh Blake

As summer winds down, so does the fieldwork portion of my research in Pinedale, Wyoming. The past weeks have been filled with long days in the sun, navigating sagebrush, and collecting soil samples from gas fracking sites—but the lab work is just beginning. With field sampling complete, I’m now turning to the lab phase at Read more about From the Field to the Lab Furnace: Wrapping Up Soil Sampling in Wyoming – Myroslav Bur[…]

First Month in the Field and Yellowstone Trip – Myroslav Bur

Posted on by Josh Blake

My first time stepping onto the soil of sagebrush-dominated steppe was a breathtaking experience for me, someone who grew up among the limitless forests of northern Ukraine. The contrast between this arid, open, mountainous landscape and the dense woods commonly observed during my entire lifetime still leaves me with admiration. Seeing the Wind River Range Read more about First Month in the Field and Yellowstone Trip – Myroslav Bur[…]

Investigating Organic Soil Matter in the Sagebrush Ecosystem of Jonah Field, WY, Following Disturbance

Posted on by Madeline Gupta

Myroslav, under the mentorship of PhD candidate Damaris Chenoweth, is investigating how soil disturbances from gas development at the Jonah field affect the sagebrush ecosystem in Wyoming. His research focuses on understanding how well pad construction for hydraulic fracturing influences sagebrush regeneration— a key challenge for conservation. The project combines remote sensing and field-based methods. Read more about Investigating Organic Soil Matter in the Sagebrush Ecosystem of Jonah Field, WY, Following Disturbance[…]
