Anna Marshall is a fluvial geomorphologist who broadly explores how rivers shape the landscape and how humans shape rivers. Her research is focused on riverscape dynamics and the interactions between geomorphic, hydraulic, ecological, and human processes. She chooses to focus much of her research around rivers because they are sensitive recorders of landscape change, and can provide insights into climatic, geologic, biotic, and anthropogenic processes in the past, present, and future. Marshall believes we can take advantage of the continual record that rivers keep across space and time to understand the dynamics of the surrounding environmental and cultural setting. She is particularly interested in biophysical interactions in rivers; riverscape response to disturbances such as fire and floods; and efforts to restore river function in human modified systems. Marshall also considers how we can translate evolving knowledge of riverscape dynamics into river management. Her methods are primarily field based, complemented by statistical modeling, physical modeling, and remote sensing techniques. She has projects spanning from streams in our backyard of the Southern Appalachians to rivers across the globe. Marshall teaches a range of courses focused on water resources, natural hazards, geomorphology, and field methods.
