Portrait

Dr. Mary J. Thornbush, University of Guelph, Canada, is a trained geomorphologist and environmental researcher specializing in climate change mitigation-adaptation and environmental sustainability. Her research on soils focuses on measuring soil organic carbon; monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) protocols; weathering of calcareous rock and soil aggregates; soil and sediment erosion; and sustainable land management (SLM). Her interdisciplinary approach bridges policy-relevant climate change mitigation-adaptation frameworks involving carbon sequestration and soil health. Though well-regarded in the fields of geomorphology, rock/cultural stone decay, and humanistic geography, Dr. Casey D. Allen's passion rests in helping people explore and discover landscapes as Traditional and Romantic Geographers. A first-generation college student and award-winning teacher-scholar with broad interests, he has been as a professional academic advisor, created and supervised several successful academic and support programs, was selected as a Fulbright Scholar, National Science Foundation Fellow, and Early Career Scholar in Geographic Education, and held various faculty and administrative positions at several universities - including earning tenure at the University of Colorado before serving as Lecturer of Earth/Environmental Science for the Faculty of Science and Technology at The University of the West Indies Cave Hill campus in Barbados. Along with his penchant for travel, Dr. Allen also retains interests and expertise in soils and biological soil crusts, landscape/geoarchaeology, rock art, botany, and regional studies. Dr. Faith Fitzpatrick is a Research Hydrologist at the U.S. Geological Survey, based out of the Wisconsin Water Science Center in Middleton, Wisconsin, USA. She has been working on field-based fluvial geomorphology studies for over 30 years and has spent much of her career studying river behavior in the Great Lakes region. Her interests involve human and climate change impacts on river evolution and sediment regimes, alluvial chronologies, linking sources and sinks of stream sediment and nutrients, stream restoration and habitat, and tracking sediment-related contaminants. More recently she's been working on fluvial dynamics in Great Lakes rivermouths. Stream issues that she's been involved with range from urbanization, agricultural runoff, and deforestation. She teaches fluvial geomorphology and sedimentary records courses and field training at government training courses as well as the University of Wisconsin-Madison. One of her growing areas of interest is the role of fluvial processes in the behavior and fate of submerged oil and oiled sediment in riverine freshwater environments. From 2011-14 she served as Scientific Support Coordinator for the U.S. EPA's emergency response to the 2010 pipeline release of diluted bitumen into the Kalamazoo River, Michigan, USA.
