Incorporating impact-energy-dependent rock resistance into an erosion model quantifies the effect on bedrock incision rates Impact-energy-dependent rock resistance strongly amplifies grain size c...

Abstract. High-frequency flood events in urban areas pose significant cumulative hazards. These floods are often difficult to detect and monitor using existing infrastructure, making the development o...

Statistical analysis of western United States shore evolution provides hints of long-term tectonic and seismic cycle effects on modulating coastal erosion.

Alluvial rivers adjust their geometry to convey water and sediment downstream. While multi-river compilations reveal robust downstream scaling relationships, how these patterns manifest along a single...

Marine and tectonic processes jointly shape rocky coast retreat, with uplift, tides and waves as the dominant controls on modern retreat Uplift limits short-term retreat, but the effects of the s...

Fluvially generated seismo-acoustic waves offer a novel means of investigating river processes, yet interpreting signals from individual seismometers or hydrophones remains challenging. This study dem...

Position Summary This position will focus on integrating high-resolution field monitoring, remote sensing, and statistical and numerical modeling approaches to improve predictive flood hazard mapping....

Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to...

A cross-disciplinary team of WashU researchers has received a five-year, $3.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation to expand its work studying the human health effects of flooding in com...

Rivers self-organize to convey water and sediment, giving rise to robust downstream scaling between channel geometry and drainage area, underpinning landscape evolution models. However, these relation...

Abstract. Thresholds of motion (τc∗) strongly control bedload transport in gravel-bed rivers. Uncertainty in τc∗ limits the accuracy of predictions of transport and morphologic change. To improve our ...
