Bio/Research
In general, my research expertise is process geomorphology - the scientific study of landforms by investigation of their formative processes, morphological &/or sedimentological responses, and broader environmental context (past &/or present). As director of the Boundary Layer Airflow & Sediment Transport (BLAST) Research Unit, my main research interests are in studying the dynamics of wind flow, sediment transport & dune morphology in coastal, prairie, and desert environments. I also explore longer-term landscape responses to climate variability events (e.g., coastal storms) and longer-term changes such as sea-level rise on the British Columbia coast. This research involves collaborations with many university colleagues and various federal and provincial government agencies, including the Geological Survey of Canada, Parks Canada, and BC Parks.
