Research Interests

I am interested in process geomorphology, which is the study of fluid motion, sediment transport and the resultant deposition of geomorphic features like, gravel bars and beaches. My research goal is to develop a better understanding of the links between fundamentally important geomorphic and ecosystem processes that can help guide conservation and restoration of river-lake ecosystems. This goal has lead me to investigate physical processes active in both regulated and unregulated rivers, as well as, nearshore environments of lakes and ocean coasts.
