🚨⛈️ New pre-print from our group ⛈️🚨

We present a novel 2D/3D data fusion method to derive flood depths and extents from trail cameras. Our flexible, low-cost set-up helps track urban, pluvial flooding often missed by flood risk assessments and remote sensing.

Check it out! shorturl.at/hpW9W
Community-scale urban flood monitoring through fusion of time-lapse imagery, terrestrial lidar, and remote sensing data
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...

🌊🌊🌊 New pre-print from our group linking modern shoreline retreat rates across the US West Coast to tectonic uplift rates. Faster uplift buffers shoreline retreat with longer-term implications for shore platform development + highlighting the potential role of the seismic cycle. shorturl.at/6Fmpc
Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales
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...

📢📢 New pre-print from our group!📢📢

We built an new tool to measure river width from topography along 6 river long profiles. Our new high-res data reveal width and slope decouple at very low slopes and contrasting styles of river width adjustment to slope deviations across rivers.

High-Resolution Channel Geometry Reveals Contrasting Styles of Gravel River Adjustment
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...

Out now - we developed and tested a new model for flow-history-dependent evolution of the threshold for motion in gravel bed rivers - give it a read! esurf.copernicus.org/articles/13/...
Modeling memory in gravel-bed rivers: a flow-history-dependent relation for evolving thresholds of motion
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 ...
