Principal Investigators
Jeremy Venditti, SFU
Principal Investigator
- Jeremy Venditti is a Professor of Environmental Science at Simon Fraser University (SFU). He is the founding director of the School of Environmental Sciences and also an Associate Member of the Earth Sciences Department. He holds a B.Sc. from the University of Guelph, a M.Sc. from the University of Southern California and a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia (2003). From 2004-2006, he was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California at Berkeley and in 2014, he was a Visiting Associate at Caltech. Dr. Venditti has been faculty at SFU since 2006 where he leads the River Dynamics Laboratory (http://www.sfu.ca/~jvenditt/). His primary research interests lie in the dynamics of Earth’s largest large river systems, and in particular, the fluid and sediment dynamics of sand-bed, gravel-bed and bedrock rivers. Current work focuses on the dynamics of actively incising bedrock canyons, global mapping of sediment export from mountain ranges and the physics of flooding insand-bed rivers.
