   abstract: Gerard Salter is a hydrologist at the Southwest Biological Science Center,
     Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center. As a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow,
     his current work focuses primarily on numerical modeling and data analysis of
     fine sediment transport in the Colorado River.

   abstract: "Gerard\u2019s research interests include sediment transport and pattern\
     \ formation in rivers. His undergraduate thesis at University of Pennsylvania\
     \ focused on self-formed channel geometry in alluvial suspended-sediment dominated\
     \ rivers in the laboratory. His PhD research at University of Minnesota was\
     \ on the dynamics of sediment transport partitioning in delta distributary networks,\
     \ using experiments, numerical modeling, and remote sensing. During his postdoc\
     \ at Caltech, he studied sedimentation and silt/clay transport in river deltas\
     \ through numerical modeling, remote sensing, and field work in the Mississippi\
     \ River Delta. Since starting at USGS in 2022, he has worked to develop numerical\
     \ models for predicting fine sediment transport in the Colorado River, with\
     \ an emphasis on silt and clay, which via turbidity can affect native and non-native\
     \ fish as well as gross primary productivity."
