Biography
Kathryn is a clastic sedimentologist with expertise in dryland continental and deep-sea sedimentology. Her principal research focus is on the sedimentology of dryland rivers; better understanding the geomorphology and sedimentology of modern river systems, and the application of these modern analogues for interpreting ancient successions. Other research interests include outcrop description and interpretation of siliciclastic depositional processes and environments, and experimental modelling of turbidity currents.
