About
I am a sedimentologist and stratigrapher working primarily on sediment transport in modern and ancient rivers and deltas. I focus on building quantitative relations between physical processes such as flow and sediment transport dynamics and the record of these processes left behind as stratigraphic architectures. My work involves using sediment experiments in flumes and delta tanks, fieldwork on the many riverine and deltaic environments of Louisiana, as well as modeling work.
