PhD projects

Greg Sambrook Smith investigates the links between river processes and sedimentology at scales ranging from individual pores within a river bed up to km-long bars in some of the world’s largest rivers. His research aims to generate new generic and quantitative understanding of how rivers function across these scales. His work is facilitated by the development of new techniques such as endoscopic particle imaging velocimetry, and includes:

Sedimentology of braided rivers (South Saskatchewan project)
Processes and deposits of the world's biggest rivers
Interactions between permeable beds and open channel flows
Development of novel experimental and geophysical methods
Morphodynamics and sedimentology of the tidally-influenced fluvial zone
Channel-floodplain interactions and basin-scale alluvial architecture
Microplastics in freshwater systems

He welcomes enquiries from prospective students in these areas.
