Jeremy G. Venditti
Professor
My primary interests are in the geomorphic and sedimentary processes that shape Earth's surface. I work at a range of temporal and spatial scales from detailed examinations of sediment dynamics occurring over fractions of a second in laboratory channels to monitoring annual river and watershed responses to human impacts. The theme of my research throughout my career has been erosion and sedimentation processes, particularly in river channels. I use a spectrum of research approaches, including field observation and experimentation, physical modeling in laboratories, development of theoretical models, and numerical simulation.

Ray Kostaschuk
Adjunct Professor
My research interests are in fluvial geomorphology and hydrology. This research is conducted at several national and international locations and includes applications of acoustic technology, floods and their effect on rivers, the impact of global change, dune morphology and processes, fluvial turbidity currents, river confluences and the impact of urbanization on stream channel erosion.

Sean Chartrand
Limited Term Faculty
Shawn is a geophysical and environmental scientist. His research focuses on how rivers form and co-evolve with landscapes. He has particular interest in mountain rivers and cold regions of the Arctic. Shawn uses field campaigns, physical experiments and theory development to address basic research questions. He applies his research to improve how professional scientists approach and develop river restoration plans, including the removal of dams.
