   abstract: Current research focuses on landslide hazards in Alaska, specifically
     on tsunamigenic landslides in Prince William Sound. Past research includes post-wildfire
     debris flow hazards in the western United States, the geomorphology of alluvial
     and debris-flow fans and talus deposits in arid and alpine environments, and
     the assessment of aquatic, riparian and wetland ecosystem health and function.

   abstract: I am a Research Physical Scientist in the Alaska Volcano Observatory
     in Anchorage, Alaska, where I currently lead a project related to landslide
     hazards in Prince William Sound.  This project is currently aimed at improving
     our understanding of the tsunamigenic potential and corresponding risk associated
     with large rock slope failures in recently deglaciated fiords.Prior to moving
     to Alaska in the fall of 2021, I worked at the Geologic Hazards Science Center
     in Golden, Colorado, where I studied post-fire debris flows.  This research
     focused on advancing our understanding of the topographic, geologic, hydrologic,
     and meteorological conditions that influence the location, timing, and magnitude
     of post-fire debris flows for the purpose of improving hazard assessment and
     early warning.Before starting my career at the U.S. Geological Survey, I was
     a Physical Scientist at the U.S. Forest Service in Golden, Colorado, where I
     focused on developing protocols for assessing the health and function of aquatic,
     riparian, and wetland ecosystems of the Rocky Mountains.
