Montclair State University

 I am an associate professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Studies at Montclair State University.

In particular I investigate river discharge and flooding, river erosion and stream restoration, how invasive species affect river flow, and historic changes of river channels through GIS and aerial photographs.
