   <bio>I am a fluvial geomorphologist who studies how river corridor processes and forms support ecosystem functions, such as flood attenuation, habitat provisioning, and the storage of water, sediment, and carbon. My lab is particularly interested in understanding how disturbances shape river corridors and influence their functioning and health, and in turn, how river corridors are and can be resilient to disturbances. We combine field-based studies with computational and remote-sensing analyses to understand river corridor processes and change across space and time, and we leverage this understanding to inform sustainable watershed management and restoration. Our lab works in a wide range of landscapes, but we are particularly focused on understanding variably inundated environments, such as floodplains, wetlands, and ephemeral streams.
						
						I hold a B.S. in environmental science from the University of Texas at Austin, and I received an M.S. and Ph.D. from Colorado State University. Prior to joining the Watershed Department in 2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vermont.</bio>
