Research Assistant and graduate student at UNH currently studying riparian forests, impacts from terrestrial invasive plants, and invasion patterns

My first published paper with my mentor Dr. John Gunn!

[UNH Ag Research @NH_AES]

.@dr_johnsgunn's @NH_AES research focuses on the different ways forests help mitigate #ClimateChange. Here he discusses @dartmouth's plan to use #biomass for heat with @nhpr's @daniela_lavida. @USDA_NIFA @UNHPrez @Wayne_E_Jones @NERASAES @UofNH @usfs_nrs https://t.co/DAtsy5mXOw

Missing New England and @UNH_GradSchool but excited to be starting a new chapter and pursuing a PhD in forest and conservation science @umontana WA Franke College of Forestry and Conservation!

@carimoorhead Thank you @carimoorhead!

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Yesterday was a good day, I successfully completed my MS thesis defense! I am very thankful for the opportunities and support my advisor @dr_johnsgunn, @UNH_GradSchool, @NH_AES and the NREN Department at UNH has given me! Excited for the next chapter!

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

@dr_johnsgunn @UNH_GradSchool @NH_AES @umontana Thank you very much @dr_johnsgunn. It has been a really great experience!

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Come and learn about increasing resistance to invasive plants and also their impacts to streams and riparian forests!

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Great to get science into the hands of the public and raise awareness to environmental issues. Many people are unaware of the ecological implications of this exotic species and also how easily it is spread to new areas by human activity. @NH_AES @dr_johnsgunn

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

@dr_johnsgunn @unhresearchnews @UNH_GradSchool I was a bit angry:) I was just showing them how nothing can grow under a knotweed stand and talking about implications to local wildlife and also how the bare ground increases erosion, runoff, and sedimentation in streams!

That's not bamboo in your yard, it's fast-growing, cement-piercing Japanese Knotweed. And good luck getting rid of it @seacoastonline @ChadFHammer @NH_AES @unhresearchnews https://t.co/zsKkwNIKle

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Glad to see articles like this being done to raise awareness to the public on the impacts and dispersal of knotweed, as landowners often unknowingly spread this aggressive plant to new areas.

[Elizabeth Dinan @DinanElizabeth]

@seacoastonline I nominate @ChadFHammer for NH Invasive Species Czar, it's all along state roads @GovChrisSununu

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

@Aquatic_Allison Safe travels and enjoy! You will do great!!!!!

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Interesting article on #Japaneseknotweed, one of the harmful #invasivespecies that my work is focused on. https://t.co/PBBTaOVHIv interviewed me for this article and mentioned some findings from my research~1/2 way through the article.@dr_johnsgunn @NH_AES https://t.co/TxdC5bLkMu

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

@The_Wendy_Rose Anytime!

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Had a great time volunteering to drive Prof. Tom Lee’s conservation class to learn about how projected sea level rise will impact salt marsh systems and also assess the resiliency of forests to adapt to a changing climate. Glad to be apart of his last field trip before retirement

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Had a great experience presenting at my alma mater about my M.S. research on invasive plants and also how student research and engagement can shape their careers. On the other hand I am thankful that 5 talks/conferences in 5 weeks is over and I can get back to thesis writing:)

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

@bababoey @EllieLangthorne @UNH_Police I’m no expert, but I feel like there is a big difference than sexual harassment and hurt feelings.

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Always interesting to see how forest invasive plants break bud and leaf out much earlier than our natives in the northeast, which helps to outcompete natives. This Japanese barberry is correlated with having higher deer tick densities in its invades stands. @forestinvasives

@grey_street_grl Thanks:)

[Chad Hammer @ChadFHammer]

Presenting my research on the impacts of invasive plants in natural and restored riparian forests in northern New England to federal, state, and non-profit land managers at the Watersheds United Vermont conference.VT is small but mighty! #forestinvasives #invasivespecies #scicomm
