RESEARCH OVERVIEW

The interaction between flow processes and terrain. Primarily, i am interested in the dynamics of geophysical particle laden flows (such as snow avalanches) and the implications of these dynamics for risk analysis. He also maintains an active research interest in experimental and modelling studies of turbulent flow structures and sediment transport. Recent work has been based on novel applications of the wavelet transform for surrogate data generation and data visualisation. The application of Tsallis statistics and associated methods to environmental phenomena is another emerging interest.
