Our research group has worked extensively on stream braiding, creating the first models for the dynamics and time evolution of fully developed braided streams, a dominant contributor to the fluvial sedimentary record. We have also worked on sediment fractionation in depositional systems, a major factor that drives downstream changes in fluvial morphology and sedimentary character. Other work has focused on the effect of statistical fluctuations on preserved stratigraphy, the formation of parallel lamination, and controls on rates of fluvial avulsion.
