Carter Boyd is a geomorphologist/hydrologist with a background in remote sensing, field hydrology and geology, and data science. He has academic experience in investigating the statistical distribution of river width across spatial scales using remote sensing and field-derived datasets, as well as in investigating the isotopic signatures of marine microbial metabolic pathways. At Balance, Carter contributes to design support through hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and calculations applied to stormwater management, river and stream restoration, and geomorphic analysis. In addition to his modeling work, Carter conducts fieldwork such as the installation, monitoring, and management of streamflow and rainfall monitoring sites, site reconnaissance, and surveying. He is currently working toward obtaining his professional licensure in geology. Outside of work, Carter loves spending time outdoors, playing and learning musical instruments, and trying out new recipes.
