Projects
Since I’ve been at Utah State University, I’ve run all my research projects through my Ecogeomorphology & Topographic Analysis Lab. See here for a listing of current and past ET-AL projects.
Below is a partial list of research projects I was involved in prior to arriving at Utah State University. Refer to Study Sites to see which rivers these projects have been on.
