Title: Watershed Sediment Dynamics
Speaker: Andrew Gray
Time: 15:30, August 7, 2019
Location: Meeting room 1007, No. 12 building (Administration building) in Guanggu campus
Dr. Andrew Gray is an Assistant Professor of Watershed Hydrology at the University of California, Riverside in the Department of Environmental Sciences, USA. He completed his doctoral work in Hydrologic Sciences at the University of California, Davis where he focused on fluvial sediment dynamics in small mountainous rivers. At UCR, Dr. Gray has built a research group to investigate the roles of fluvial sediments in determining water quality and fluvial geomorphology, with particular interest in post-wildfire sediment dynamics, coastal sedimentology, sediment source investigation, and microplastic pollution.
