The influence of dune lee side shape on time-averaged velocities and turbulence

Alice Lefebvre1 and Julia Cisneros2 1MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen, Bremen, Germany, 2Department of Geological Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712, USA Underwater dunes are found in various environments with strong hydrodynamics and movable sedi- ment such as rivers, estuaries and continental shelves. They have a diversityContinue reading “The influence of dune lee side shape on time-averaged velocities and turbulence”

Grappling with barriers in geosciences from the lens of two Latina geoscientists

Abstract: “This article reviews our shared experience as two minoritized graduate students, encapsulating what the barriers we encountered were, and identifies the impacts of a personal disinterest by geoscientists and institutional disinvestment in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues in the geosciences. Specifically, in this article we advance the concept of disinvestment in the academy,Continue reading “Grappling with barriers in geosciences from the lens of two Latina geoscientists”

The shape of dunes in the world’s big rivers

This work is part of my PhD and details the shape of dunes in the world’s big rivers. Here, I show that the shape of dunes in these rivers is flatter and smaller than previously thought. This work was recently published in Nature Geoscience. To read a recently published story about this paper see theContinue reading “The shape of dunes in the world’s big rivers”
