Members of my research group work to solve problems in Earth surface processes across a wide range of scales, from erosion during individual rainstorms to sediment transport over millions of years. We use a variety of tools and methods, including field-based studies, numerical modeling, and remote sensing, to understand geologic hazards and the longer-term evolution of landscapes.
Pyrogeomorphology
Fire affects soil physical and hydraulic properties. Our research focuses on understanding how fire and terrain characteristics influence runoff and erosion.
Debris Flow Hazards
We use a combination of field-based monitoring and numerical modeling to improve our understanding of how debris flows initiate, grow, and move across the landscape.
