June 2024: A collaborative paper exploring working with wood in rivers in the western U.S has been published in River Research & Applications: http://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4331
May 2024: I successfully defended my PhD dissertation titled: " Islands in the Stream: Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Logjam-induced River Corridor Dynamics"!
May 2024: Check out our latest work exploring interactions of logjams, channel dynamics, and geomorphic heterogeneity within a river corridor in Water Resources Research: https://doi.org/10.1029/2023WR036512
February 2024: Our latest paper looking at the distribution of logjams in relation to lateral connectivity in the river corridor is out in Geomorphology: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2024.109100
Jan 2024: Check out our new methodological study published in River Research & Applications evaluating the use of handheld lidar to characterize river corridors: https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4239
Jan 2024: The fluvial geomorphology research group at Colorado State University that recently published an article on the importance of accounting for geomorphic context in river restoration projects. Read more here: https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4236
Dec 2023: I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in the Geography & Sustainability Department in Fall 2024!
Dec 2023: For those attending AGU in San Francisco, stop by the ecohydraulics & morphodynamics session I am convening with Dr. Jorge San Juan, Dr. Chien Yung Tseng, Dr. Isabella Schalko, Dr. Sara Rathburn, Dr. Katherine Linninger, and Dr. Rebecca Diehl on Thursday, Dec. 14
Sep 2023: For the next month, I'll be in Hokkaido, Japan conducting research at the Uryu Experimental Research Forest and hosted by Dr. Hiromi Uno, a stream ecologist at Hokkaido University. We'll be looking at ecologic and geomorphic flood response in one of the few remaining natural rivers of Japan.
July 2023: I'll be giving at talk at the International Conference of Fluvial Sedimentology (ICFS) in Riva del Garda, Italy this week on the continuum of wood-induced bifurcations patterns in mountain rivers.
May 2023: Follow-along over the next 10 days ( #NSFRAFT on social media) as I join a cohort of river scientists from the US and Colombia on the Magdalena River as part of a NSF IRES field training to critically think about the future of rivers of the Andes.
April 2023: The first in a series of manuscripts exploring spatial heterogeneity, channel dynamics, and logjams on the Swan River in Northwest Montana was just published in Frontiers in Water. https://doi.org/10.3389/frwa.2023.1155623
