Professor

Department of Geography

Dr. Brett Eaton is a fluvial geomorphologist interested in how rivers respond to land use and environmental changes. His research group is conducting laboratory experiments and field studies as part of a larger effort to improve our understanding of stream channel (in)stability, fish habitat and bed material transport. In particular, we are focusing on the influence of disturbances such as forest fire on channel morphodynamics, the effect of large wood on sediment transport dynamics and the influence of hydropower generation on stream channel processes. Brett is also interested in the broader set of processes controlling landscape characteristics.
