Research group

I work with a group of graduate students, undergraduate research assistants and post-doctoral fellows. We collaborate with other research groups on campus, including Brett Eaton's Fluvial Geomorphology Research Group, John Richardson's Stream and Riparian Research Laboratory and Scott Hinch's Fish Ecology & Conservation Laboratory, based in the UBC Department of Forest Sciences, as well as collaborators in other universities, government agencies, and the private sector.
