Nelson’s research on riverbed roughness featured in Eos article
Associate Professor Peter Nelson co-authored two papers in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface on the role of bedrock riverbed roughness in the formation of sediment patches. Nelson provides a model for riverbeds with both bedrock and alluvial segments to determine how the texture of the riverbed and the presence or absence of sediment…Read more

Venayagamoorthy serves as editor for special issue in Environmental Fluid Mechanics Journal
The Environmental Fluid Mechanics Journal has published a special issue on turbulence and mixing in stratified flows. Professor Karan Venayagamoorthy served as editor for the issue which includes twelve papers, half of which focus on stratified turbulence and mixing research performed in labs and simulations, with the second half focused on field-scale observations and simulations in natural…Read more
Smith and Hasan develop model for monitoring subsidence and groundwater storage loss
Groundwater is a critical yet finite resource. When groundwater is excessively pumped for its many uses (drinking, irrigation, etc.), the surrounding land area can sink, known as land subsidence, causing permanent groundwater storage loss. Prof. Ryan G. Smith and colleagues have developed a new model to map subsidence globally for the first time. They published…Read more
