I am an Associate Professor and Water Program Head for the Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Utah State University and a researcher at the Utah Water Research Laboratory.   My research spans the areas of watershed hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and water management including: flooding, post-fire hydrology and sedimentation, river restoration and design, ecohydraulics and environmental flows. My research group performs applied, interdisciplinary research using a combination of field monitoring, machine learning, numerical modeling, geospatial and time series analysis. I also lead several efforts to integrate emerging research and develop dynamic web-based tools to guide coordinated, stakeholder-engaged water management in the western U.S.  When not studying rivers, I can be found skiing, rafting, and biking through the water cycle with my husband, daughter and dog.
