Associate Professor Sediment transports in gravel-bed channels Channel-floodplain interactions Methodology

Research Interest

Fundamental aspects of sediment transfers in gravel-bed rivers to better understand and predict sediment movement and its linkage to morphological adjustment in river channels and flood plains.

Current projects focus on 1) understanding the three-dimensional dispersion of gravel over a long flood series, 2) modeling sediment transport processes for prescribed instream flows, 3) quantifying distributions of interstitial pore space in mixed size streambeds, 4) articulating the spatial structure and magnitude of channel-floodplain sediment exchanges, and 5) determining limits to the rates of floodplain sediment accretion.

Teaching Interests

Teaching efforts focus primarily on geomorphology (GEO 4113 and GEO 4121) and freshwater ecology (BIO 4953) at the undergraduate level and on sediment transport processes (GEO 5404 and GEO 5414) at the graduate level.   Coordinator of the core course requirement for the Master’s degree in geology (GEO 5103).
