CUrrent Post-doctoral Fellows and Staff
Julia Carr, SFU
Post-doctoral Fellow
- Julia Carr is a process geomorphologist studying how tectonics affect the rate and mechanism of erosion at the surface. She uses a mix of field work, high resolution remote sensing, and numerical modeling to evaluate how tectonic history, channel and hillslope morphology, and sediment transport are interconnected in landscapes, particularly focusing on bedrock rivers.
Tingan Li, SFU
Post-doctoral Fellow
- Tingan Li is a river geomorphologist studying morphodynamics of bedrock rivers. His current research focuses in particular on erosional mechanisms of riverbanks, shear stress partitioning, and width dynamics in bedrock rivers.
Naomi Pleizier, SFU
Post-doctoral Fellow
- Coming soon
Max Hurson, SFU
PhD student/technician
- Max Hurson holds a BSc from Concordia University studying fluvial geomorphology with a focus on ecology. He is now a PhD candidate at 91ÅÝܽ where he examines flow resistance in large bedrock rivers using oceanographic acoustic instrumentation.
Kyle Kusack, SFU
Technician
- Kyle Kusack is a MSc Candidate in Geography at 91ÅÝܽ and a general river enthusiast. His current research focus is on how bedrock canyons evolve by using fast eroding materials in our laboratory Flume.
Morgan Wright, SFU
Post-Masters Researcher
- Morgan Wright is a fluvial geomorphologist studying the interactions between channel morphology, fluid dynamics, and eco hazards. Her current research focuses on how morphology and flow impact salmon migration in a mixed bedrock and sediment mantled river.
Sayumi standen, SFU
GIS Technician
- Sayumi Standen holds a BSc from 91ÅÝܽ, majoring in physical geography with a GIS certificate, and an advanced GIS diploma from the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Her interest area is environmental conservation and sustainable urban planning. With a passion for leveraging geospatial technology to address complex environmental challenges.
Chloe ross, SFU
Undergraduate Research Assistant
- Chloe Ross is interested in research topics in the realm of geomorphology, and how they relate to her commitment to work towards better understanding our environment and how to preserve it for future generations
