Past-President
Chris Hugenholtz
Chris Hugenholtz is an Associate Professor and Research Chair in the Department of Geography, University of Calgary. His research focuses on aeolian processes and landscape dynamics, UAVs for mapping, dust emissions, and planetary geomorphology.
Vice President
Jan Franssen
Jan Franssen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the Université de Montréal where he teaches courses in geomorphology, hydrology, and river system science. His research focus is a the interface of geomorphology, watershed hydrology, and ecology where he seeks to characterize the physical processes that sustain ecological functions in freshwater ecosystems.
Secretary-Treasurer
Christina Neudorf
Christina Neudorf is a Research Scientist and Manager of the Luminescence Dating Laboratory at the Desert Research Institute, Reno, Nevada. Her research focuses on the development of luminescence dating techniques and their application in geomorphology, geoarchaeology and Quaternary geology.
