   abstract: I supervise the field geology and hydrology group at Cascades Volcano
     Observatory. My research focuses on postglacial volcanism and hazards at volcanoes
     such as Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens in Washington State. I also study
     the nature and behavior of lahars, floods, avalanches, pyroclastic flows, and
     dome growth.
