Research
Our research integrates surface process modeling with quantitative geomorphology to build our understanding of landscape change.
In particular we focus on fluvial and deltaic environments, which possess an abundance of natural resources that are critical for societal wellbeing. We also have research projects that study sediment transport processes and surface evolution in other environments as well, though.
Featured research:
Human activity on delta landscapes
Mars surface processes
Fluvial geomorphology and dynamics
All research:
Human activity on delta landscapes
Humans have been modifying delta landscapes for centuries. What are the cumulative impacts of this management and how can we best manage deltas into the futu...
Delta land building
Natural delta land building processes are not fully understood. Predicting the dynamics of these landscapes supports societal sustainability on deltas.
Mars surface processes
What are the geomorphic processes that shaped Mars in the past and today?
Fluvial geomorphology and dynamics
How do fluvial geomorphic processes shape river landscapes?
Sediment transport
Sediment transport mechanics.
Subsurface heterogeneity
A limited understanding of subsurface structure inhibits our ability to predict flow patterns and sustainably manage water resources.
