Research Statement: My doctoral research concerns the behaviour of steep, gravel-bedded rivers. In nature, measuring river processes is challenging, and subsequently, I aim to reproduce these processes using scaled physical models. Combining remote sensing, hydraulic modelling, and statistics, I develop novel analyses that explicate process feedbacks that give rise to river behaviour.
