Charting the course of rivers
From the smallest creek to the mightiest waterways, rivers have shaped the natural world and the course of human civilization. But a river’s only consistent attribute is change, and it’s precisely this dynamism that Associate Professor Vamsi Ganti studies. His surface processes group at UC Santa Barbara uses remote sensing and a bespoke flume lab to understand the fluvial mechanics that shape landscapes on Earth and other planets.
