Research Area: Geomorphology, Sediment Connectivity

Supervisor: Marwan Hassan

Degrees: B.Sc. in Geoscience (USU); M.Sc. in Geography (UBC)

Research Statement: I am primarily interested in the postglacial sediment dynamics of mountain watersheds. My research seeks to better understand how landscapes have adjusted to glacier retreat over the last ~12,000 years with respect to sediment redistribution and yield. I approach this topic using methods such as geomorphic mapping, geochronology, sediment budgeting, and connectivity analyses. I believe that understanding the past landscape response and degree of recovery from glaciation will put modern conditions (e.g., climate change, land-use change) into context, inform land management decisions, and help communities plan for a safer and more sustainable future.
