Dan Royall
Professor
Geomorphology, fluvial processes and landforms, lacustrine sedimentation, soil science, water resources, environmental magnetism. My research interests include watershed sediment budgets, environmental histories preserved in fluvial and lacustrine sediment bodies, partial avulsion and fluvial islands, and urban streams. I also have a research background in Quaternary paleoecology and geology. |
