معرفی
Kory Konsoer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography & Anthropology at Louisiana State University (LSU), serving as Graduate Advisor and Associate Director for the LSU Center for River Studies. He holds a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Illinois (2014), an M.S. in Geology from West Virginia University (2008), and a B.S. in Geology from Grand Valley State University (2006).
His research focuses on process fluvial geomorphology, particularly the coevolution of river flows and channel morphology. Key areas include sediment transport dynamics influenced by vegetation, hydraulic geometry across terrestrial and extraterrestrial channels, and the application of advanced technologies like terrestrial LiDAR, hydroacoustics, and sUAS for geomorphic analysis. He investigates scaling relations among rivers, submarine channels, and Martian/Titanian channels, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches.
Recent work explores anthropogenic impacts on river systems (e.g., sand mining, training walls) and climate-driven changes in river dynamics. He teaches courses such as Fluvial Geomorphology, Advanced Fluvial Hydraulics, and Field Methods, integrating fieldwork with quantitative analysis. His lab affiliations include the LSU Center for River Studies and collaborations with groups like the Climate Extremes and Modeling Group.
Notable projects include studies on the Pearl River (USA), Grand River (Michigan), and Amazonian rivers, with publications in Water Resources Research, Geomorphology, and Sedimentology. His work bridges geomorphic processes with applied challenges in river management and climate adaptation.
