John Kemper

John Kemper is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Utah State University's Watershed Sciences department, specializing in fluvial geomorphology and watershed connectivity. His work integrates field measurements, lab analyses, and statistical/machine learning techniques to study sediment, nutrient, and wood transport in river systems.

• Focuses on material connectivity in river basins
• Develops machine learning tools for water quality forecasting
• Investigates post-fire erosion dynamics and snow avalanche impacts

Recent research trends include large-scale sediment storage analysis, urban watershed dynamics, and ecological-geomorphic interactions in regulated river systems. His work emphasizes practical applications for watershed management and restoration.

John's collaborations span institutions including the University of Vermont and Colorado State University, with publications in journals like Geophysical Research Letters and Earth-Science Reviews.
