GIS Assessment Tools

Our ability to analyze, predict, and interpret landscape response to large-scale disturbances, such as wildfire, requires the development of automated, easy-to-use geospatial tools for both delineation and hydrogeomorphic modeling across the various process domains within watersheds.

As part of our broader projects modeling erosion dynamics and sediment transport through large watersheds, our group is developing new, open source and open access Python-based tools with easy-to-use ArcGIS toolboxes.

River Erosion

Weathering & erosional processes driving the evolution of bedrock rivers.

EcoGeomorphology

Physical habitat disturbance, population dynamics, and ecological resilience.
