Scott W Anderson

Scott Anderson is a hydrologist and geomorphologist in the Watersheds and Fluvial Systems Section at the Washington Water Science Center.

My work has focused on sediment transport and channel change in rivers of the Pacific Northwest, combining direct sediment sampling, high-resolution topographic differencing, and historical records to understand reach- to watershed-scale sediment dynamics. Much of this work has revolved around understanding how geologic history, human impacts, and contemporary climate interact to influence those sediment dynamic, and how they, in turn, influence flood hazards, habitat, and restoration efforts.
