Dan Royall Associate Professor
Geomorphology, fluvial processes and landforms, lacustrine sedimentation, soil science, water resources, environmental magnetism. Research interests include channel adjustments to chronic watershed disturbance, watershed- and channel-reach-scale sediment budgets, watershed process records preserved in lakes, evaluation of hydraulic habitat in streams, and soil erosion . Dr. Royall also has research experience in Quaternary paleoecology and geology.
