Professor
River, Watershed, & Landscape Dynamics Program
Dept. of Geography & Geographic Information Science
Welcome
Research in my group focuses on the morphodynamics of rivers and streams and the relation of these morphodynamics to human activity, ecosystems, and biog eochemical processes. I am a faculty member in the River, Watershed, and Landscape Dynamics graduate program in the Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science, which involves interdisciplinary coursework and research experiences bridging physical geography, geology, civil and environmental engineering, and natural resources and environmental science.
