Biography
Dr. Bruce MacVicar, is working as Assistant Professor.
Research Interest
River engineering, hydraulics and fluvial geomorphology. Research objectives relate to the mechanics of river processes, such as sediment transport, flow turbulence and the transport of wood, and the emergence of large scale properties of rivers such as riffle-pool bedforms, meanders, and floodplains. Practical benefits of the research include urban stormwater management, stream restoration, and the maintenance of critical habitats in rivers.
