The Earth & Planetary Surface Processes section of the American Geophyiscal Union seeks to “highlight exciting new science coming from students and postdocs” and this month’s researcher is our very own Emily Iskin. Her research – which you can read about in her EPSP Spotlight and on her personal page – focuses on investigating the natural patterns of floodplain heterogeneity in various rivers across the US.
Congrats Emily on this well deserved recognition!

Rich’s dissertation investigated the locations and impacts of artificial levees in the United States. To do so, Rich developed a novel method for detecting artificial levees at the scale of the entire country; his research results both substantially expand the database of artificial levees in the US and highlight their impacts on the form, function, and ecosystems of American rivers.
Congratulations Rich!!!!!

Both Mickey and Sarah received a scholarship for their research proposals concerning their ongoing work in Colorado watersheds. Mickey’s research focuses on examining geomorphic controls and the influence of sediment and wood fluxes on fish ecology and recovery in a post-fire environment in Little Beaver Creek, Colorado. Sarah’s research centers around investigating sediment deposition in various mountain lakes and reservoirs throughout the Colorado Front Range.
Congrats Mickey and Sarah!!!

Celeste’s research focuses on linking flow and sediment dynamics to stream channel response following invasive vegetation removal in order to quantify the magnitude of landscape change and inform management of post-removal channel behavior. Celeste was chosen based not only upon her research, but also because of her passion for riparian conservation and dedication to preserving vital riparian landscapes.
