Courses: Freshwater Ecology (BIO 459), Natural Hazards (GSCI 104).
Research Interests: Aquatic ecology; linking physical and biological processes in river systems.
My primary interests are in interdisciplinary
research that focuses on the interactions between physical and
biological processes in river systems. Specifically, I am exploring
hydrologic and geomorphic processes that shape river systems, and the
role of disturbance in aquatic ecosystems. Of particular interest is
the effect of vegetation changes on the frequency and magnitude of
sediment fluxes, and how these processes influence river morphology and
biotic communities.
