Geomorphology, hydrology, landslides, natural hazards

Research

I conducted research at Washington University in St. Louis in the WUSTL Geomorphology Lab with advisor Dr. Claire Masteller. My undergraduate thesis focused on how river valley shape depends on the strength of the lithology through which it flows. After graduating from WashU, I explored bedrock riverbed erosion and the partitioning of energy from individual grain impacts to bedrock surface chipping and internal deformation of the riverbed.

At the University of Oregon Geomorphology Lab with Dr. Josh Roering, I am researching onset conditions for landslides in Southeast Alaska, as well as landslide detection and early warning.
