Principal Investigators
Jeremy Venditti, SFU
Principal Investigator
- Jeremy Venditti is a Professor of Environmental Science at 91ÅÝܽ (SFU). He is the founding director of the School of Environmental Sciences and also an Associate Member of the Earth Sciences Department. He holds a B.Sc. from the University of Guelph, a M.Sc. from the University of Southern California and a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia (2003). From 2004-2006, he was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California at Berkeley and in 2014, he was a Visiting Associate at Caltech. Dr. Venditti has been faculty at SFU since 2006 where he leads the River Dynamics Laboratory (http://www.sfu.ca/~jvenditt/). His primary research interests lie in the dynamics of Earth’s largest large river systems, and in particular, the fluid and sediment dynamics of sand-bed, gravel-bed and bedrock rivers. Current work focuses on the dynamics of actively incising bedrock canyons, global mapping of sediment export from mountain ranges and the physics of flooding insand-bed rivers.
