Posted on June 29, 2021

Dr. Sarah Praskievicz, associate professor of geography, has recently been awarded two major research grants to support her cutting-edge work on geospatial modeling of debris in river systems in the U.S. One grant, from the the University Corporation of Atmospheric Research, will support her project “Post-Wildlfire Debris-Flow Runout and Inundation Mapping Using Geospatial Analysis,” while the other from the National Science Foundation (NSF) will fund a three-year project on “Large Woody Debris in Low-Gradient Floodplain Rivers: Spatial Distribution, Physical Controls, and Geomorphic Effects.” Congratulations to Dr. Praskievicz on receiving these highly competitive awards!
