to sink, sediment production and transport project in the Arctic. The PhD student will be the lead on characterizing frost-driven rock cracking and detachment potential at the hillslope and larger scale. This project includes field observations, remote sensing,
physical experiments, and numerical modeling. I'm (ambitiously) hoping we can advance frost cracking models applied to the great outdoors- with all of its messy complexity. Other parts of the project include rock breakdown during transport in frosty settings
and a whole suite of collaborative questions related to sediment supply and transport in the Arctic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
