 abstract: I am a geomorphologist interested in river systems. I work with Amy East,
   Jon Warrick, and Joel Sankey to investigate patterns in post-wildfire sediment
   mobilization over recent decades in California in the context of shifting hydroclimate
   and an intensifying fire regime. This work has implications for downstream water
   resources, water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and coastal change.
