I am a fluvial
geomorphologist, which means I spend a lot of time in rivers, thinking about
rivers, and enjoying rivers. My
research focuses on how rivers respond to change from Holocene-scale
post-glacial evolution to century-scale anthropogenic land use changes to
decadal-scale post-eruption landscape recovery.
