Tyler Doane is a geomorphologist who works to understand Earths surface processes and the imprint they make on the landscape. Using mathematical and probability theory, machine learning, remote sensing, and field work, he attempts to describe sediment production and transport in a range of settings. His current work is focused on identifying conditions and storms that generate runoff and detecting the subtle topographic signature that those event leave in post-fire settings. Another ongoing effort explains how the topographic roughness of semi-arid settings reflects ecohydrologic processes. Recent work demonstrates how extreme wind events are recorded in the land surface of forested landscapes and how we can use this relationship to extract an archive of windstorms over decades to centuries. Past work develops, refines, and explores the utility of new sediment transport models for hillslopes that reveal the physical mechanisms driving sediment transport.

Tyler has a PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences from Vanderbilt University. He has also been a postdoc at the University of Arizona and Indiana University.
