research
I am interested in research at the nexus of hydrology, geomorphology and aquatic ecology. My research interests are centered around the relations between physical processes of streams, and their effect on the ecological processes and characteristics. I am particularly interested in these dynamics in areas with cold-water habitat that supports salmonids. I am also interested in the use of geospatial data and GIS for habitat modeling and analysis.
