Scott Brown, M.S., Geomorphology/Hydrology
Scott Brown has applied his background in geomorphology and Quaternary geology to quantifying effects of urbanization on channel form, floodplain incision, and related effects on ground water. He also directs investigations on the effects of managed ground-water recharge on shallow water tables and associated wetland habitats.
