Alluvial Fans as a Natural Laboratory
The processes governing alluvial fan dynamics in Arctic regions are uniquely sensitive to changes in climate and frost-based erosional processes. Fans serve as valuable archives of paleoclimatic and paleoerosional change, serving as natural experiments of how landscapes respond to changing climate.
In this project I use remote sensing of fans in the Aklavik Range, Northwest Territories, Canada to study sediment transport and fan accumulation processes unique to periglacial settings.
