Elizabeth is currently a term hydrologist at the Fort Collins Science Center. Elizabeth received her M.S. in Geological Science from Binghamton University in New York, where she studied automated river detection techniques applied to hydrocarbon features on Saturn's moon, Titan. Previously, she studied geomorphic river changes using historical imagery of Esopus Creek in the Catskills.
Science and Products
Redistribution of debris-flow sediment following severe wildfire and floods in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, USA
Severe fire on steep slopes increases stormwater runoff and the occurrence of runoff-initiated debris flows. Predicting locations of debris flows and their downstream effects on trunk streams requires watershed-scale high-resolution topographic data. Intense precipitation in July and September 2013 following the June 2011 Las Conchas Fire in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, led to...

Elevation change in the watershed of Rito de los Frijoles, Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico from 2010 to 2016
Intense precipitation following the June 2011 Las Conchas Fire in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, led to widespread debris flows in the watershed of Rito de los Frijoles in Bandelier National Monument. Sediment eroded by these debris flows was transported along Rito de los Frijoles during floods in 2011 and 2013. This dataset contains two tabular files and one raster digital file. The...
Integrated River and Riparian Ecosystem Studies
FORT scientists study interactions among river flow, riparian vegetation and channel change at low elevations across the western United States. Cooperators include the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Reclamation. Research areas include reservoir management, control of invasive species, drought response and flood erosion after fires...
