Research Interests

I am interested in quantifying river erosion processes using geophysical tools, including passive seismic and acoustic monitoring. These tools may allow geomorphologists to measure difficult-to- observe turbulent flow and bedload transport processes continuously, simultaneously at many locations, and during hazardous flood events. The potential application of my research is to better constrain rates of river erosion and landscape evolution.
