ANNOUNCEMENTS

Victória Wojahn has been selected as a 2025 Colorado Water Center Fellow. Wojahn is a Ph.D. student working with Assistant Professor Antônio Alves Meira Neto on better understanding forest hydrology – the quality, storage, and movement of water within trees and forests. 

“My research integrates geophysics and plant-physiology measurements to understand how trees store and move water, and how those dynamics link to the hydrological cycle and the atmosphere conditions,” said Wojahn.

“In Colorado, forests modulate downstream water availability and function as dynamic reservoirs that are closely linked to soil moisture, precipitation, and atmospheric drivers. However, we still lack a clear picture of how climate change alters vegetation water storage and redistribution.”

Wojahn’s research seeks to close this knowledge gap of water dynamics specific to mountain regions. Originally from southern Brazil, she has experienced the diverse challenges faced by watersheds in different regions. She looks forward to building a water resources network through this fellowship.

“This is a great opportunity to connect with other researchers and professionals who are passionate about advancing water resources management in Colorado. It will allow me to engage in meaningful discussions across different disciplines, broaden my perspective, and strengthen my understanding of the diverse hydrological challenges faced by the region.”

When she’s not deep in her research, you can find Wojahn hiking, biking, and exploring Colorado landscapes.
