CUrrent Post-doctoral Fellows and Staff
Julia Carr, SFU
Post-doctoral Fellow
- Julia Carr is a process geomorphologist studying how tectonics affect the rate and mechanism of erosion at the surface. She uses a mix of field work, high resolution remote sensing, and numerical modeling to evaluate how tectonic history, channel and hillslope morphology, and sediment transport are interconnected in landscapes, particularly focusing on bedrock rivers.

Kyle Kusack, SFU
Technician
- Kyle Kusack is a MSc Candidate in Geography at Simon Fraser University and a general river enthusiast. His current research focus is on how bedrock canyons evolve by using fast eroding materials in our laboratory Flume.
Morgan Wright, SFU
Post-Masters Researcher
- Morgan Wright is a fluvial geomorphologist studying the interactions between channel morphology, fluid dynamics, and eco hazards. Her current research focuses on how morphology and flow impact salmon migration in a mixed bedrock and sediment mantled river.
