SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES
- Developer, Channel-Hillslope Integrated Landscape Development (CHILD) Model.
- Designed and implemented algorithms for meandering over geologic time, movement of points with dynamic remeshing, debris-flow runout, and incorporation of vegetation, among others. Recently directedthe development of a graphical user interface that will allow classroom use of the CHILD model.
- Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study (CLAMS) 1998-present
- Participate as a “PI” in this project uniting foresters, ecologists, economists, sociologists, and geomorphologists and funded by the Oregon Department of Forestry and the U.S. Forest Service’s Northwest Forest Plan. Adapted CHILD model to problems of forest-geomorphology interactions influencing aquatic habitat. Make presentations to and attend meetings with participants from federal andstate agencies, local watershed councils, forest industry, and non-governmental organizations.
- Difference, Power and Discrimination (DPD) Program, OSU 2001-present Attended two workshop series for pedagogical development and incorporation of curricular materials for teaching issues of difference, power, and discrimination in the classroom. Awarded a DPD Curriculum Development Grant for the development of a “DPD” course on environmental justice in the Department of Geosciences. Developed course, GEO 309 Environmental Justice, which meets the DPD requirement in OSU’s Baccalaureate Core Curriculum.
- Faculty Advisor, American Indian Science and Engineering Society, OSU Chapter 2002-present; Attend weekly meetings. Supervise and assist activities including retreats, pow-wows, and regional and national meetings.Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science October 2-5, 2003; Attended National Meeting in Albuquerque to recruit prospective graduate students for the College of Science at OSU. The trip resulted in at least one recent application to the Geology Program.
