I grew up in one of North America’s great snow belts…and started my career in Buffalo NY So, that background and my fascination with sediment transport primes curiosity in ice transport. I’m sure my ice friends would cringe at this, but I sometimes call ice transport as upside down sediment transport. But despite the symmetry of ice and sediment transport, they are separate, complicated, disciplines with little overlapping expertise. Which is why its remarkable, that this episode’s guest is...

When HEC hired me to add sediment transport to HEC-RAS almost 20 years ago now, I inherited a set of sediment transport functions that were mostly developed in the early to mid 20th century. These were – and continue to be – important equations.But when I sat down with the RAS team To talk about the new science I was excited to include in a river mechanics model.I pulled out the same binder I brought to this interview We are wrapping up our third season of the podcast, and our...
