I have been involved in a very exciting project over the last 3 years working with archaeologists from the universities of Stavanger and Bergen examining the likely consequences of the #Storegga #Tsunami on coastal communities in Norway over 8000 years ago. We model the Storegga #landslide and generated tsunami and the inundation at high-resolution at multiple sites along the coast of Norway.

One downside of migrating servers is that your posts disappear (at least mine did). So here's my #introduction! I am a #geomorphologist at #UCalgary, focusing on rapid geological changes in high altitude & high latitude environments. In other words, I study #geohazards and #Quaternary environmental change in #glacial and alpine environments. I use variety of tools incl #satellite remote sensing & field mapping to understand how Earth changes shape on timescales of a few seconds to millennia.
