Welcome to the Bray Rivers Lab
The research at Bray Rivers Lab at San Francisco State University focuses on hydrology and fluvial geomorphology, with emphasis on river processes, river restoration and water resources management.
We are interested in river mechanics including sediment transport, river temperature, heat exchange between the water and atmosphere, fluvial abrasion and hyporheic processes. Our group is also interested in quantifying how environmental change and human activities alter the ways in which rivers and watersheds function. Our research combines field observations, laboratory experiments, analysis and computational modeling.
Dr. Erin Bray is an Associate Professor in the School of the Environment and leads the Bray Rivers Lab.
