Our research in river mechanics addresses how water, sediment, wood, and vegetation interact to shape river corridors across a range of spatial and temporal scales. We investigate the processes that govern channel evolution, sediment transport, meander migration, and floodplain dynamics, with an emphasis on both natural variability and human-induced change. Much of our work links detailed field measurements and remote sensing with physical modeling and numerical simulations to improve understanding of how rivers respond to floods, climate change, and restoration interventions.
