Research

The focus of my research is on sediment transport, assemblages and attributes. I have a range of cross-disciplinary research interests that include: using sediments as recorders of natural and anthropogenic environmental change; modeling the transport and dispersal of sediment and bio-limiting nutrients and linking marine sediment dispersal with fluxes of sediment off the land; and assessing the effects of past and future climate change on erosion and sediment transport in Pacific Rim steeplands and on high standing Pacific Islands.
