Dr. Brett Eaton

Biography

Brett Eaton is a fluvial geomorphologist at the University of British Columbia, focusing on the responses of rivers to land use and environmental changes. He conducts laboratory experiments and field studies to enhance understanding of stream channel stability, fish habitats, and bed material transport. His research particularly investigates the influence of disturbances such as forest fires and large wood on channel morphodynamics and sediment transport dynamics, ultimately impacting hydropower generation and stream channel processes. Eaton's educational background includes a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, an M.Sc. from McGill University, and a B.Sc. (Honours) from the University of British Columbia. He contributes to advancing the scientific community's understanding of geomorphic processes, with numerous publications in prestigious journals, demonstrating a deep commitment to both research and teaching.
