Streamflow-fluvial Geomorphology-riparian Vegetation Interactions

In some cases this work involves studying river reaches or segments that are relatively unaltered by anthropogenic activities; in many cases it involves study of river segments that have been altered by human activities, most notably river damming. Our research often includes field studies, but also experiments (e.g., in greenhouses) to help control for specific factors hypothesized to influence riparian plants. This work is often done in collaboration with scientists whose primary emphasis lies in the physical sciences (e.g., fluvial geomorphology, hydrology).
