معرفی
Eva Kwoll is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Victoria, Canada. Holding a PhD from the University of Bremen (2013), she specializes in Geomorphology and Sediment Transport, with a focus on Flow-vegetation Interaction and Bedrock Canyons. Her research integrates field work, laboratory experiments, and numerical modeling to study coastal evolution.
- Education: PhD (University of Bremen), MSc (applied for lagoon modeling)
- Teaching: Courses in coastal geomorphology (GEOG 376, 476) and field methods (GEOG 424)
Research Focus: Eva’s work examines how flow and sediment dynamics interact with aquatic vegetation (eelgrass, kelp) to shape coastlines. She employs hydro-acoustic sensors, multibeam lidar, and Delft3D modeling to analyze systems like BC’s bedrock canyons and the German Bight. Her projects address tsunami hazards from submerged landslides and suspended sediment patterns in tidal environments.
Scientific Contributions: Her publications cover topics like macroturbulence in compound bedforms, turbulent suspension mechanisms, and bedform-scale flow resistance. A DFG Postdoctoral Fellowship recipient, she collaborates with institutions like Simon Fraser University and Bangor University.
- Key Collaborators: J. Venditti, C. Winter, M. Becker, B. Hunt
Labs & Teams: Eva leads field studies using ship- and lander-based installations along the BC coastline and conducts lab experiments at SFU’s River Dynamics Research Laboratory.
