This project uses remote sensing to understand sedimentation processes of alluvial fans in the Richardson and Mackenzie Mountains of Canada’s Arctic. It is part of a manuscript in prep (see publications page).

Project Framing
The processes governing alluvial fan formation in Arctic, permafrost regions are uniquely sensitive to changes in climate and frost-based erosional processes. 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.
