The transfer of sediment through riverine and coastal environment, as well as short-timescale depositional histories (fortnightly to centennial timescales). Much of this work is centered in the Arctic and sub-Arctic, where environmental conditions are rapidly changing, driving changes in how sediments are dispersed through fluvial systems and deposited and reworked on continental shelves.
