Professor of Geology

My research falls within the discipline of geology and the sub-discipline of fluvial geomorphology. Geomorphology is best defined as the study of the landforms and the natural processes responsible for their formation. Many of the geomorphic topics of interest include the landforms and processes associated with rivers, glaciers, landslides, beaches and arid regions. Fluvial geomorphology relates to the study of stream and river channels and the physical processes operating in these environments. My research is focused on understanding how flowing water and the resulting turbulence influence the physical channel characteristics created by these processes. I am keenly interested in the forma
