传记

克里·莱利, 博士学位, moved to Grand Junction in August of 2018 and is currently an instructor of geology 卡内基梅隆大学. Riley teaches different courses, including Weather and Climate, 海洋学, 环境地质, Geology of Canyon Country, Geographic Information Systems, Cartography and Principles of Physical Geology Lab. She feels at home in nature and is excited to share her love and passion for rivers and the Earth with students.

莱利的 teaching philosophy is centered on using genuine experiences to increase student interest and engagement. Her research interest is focused on understanding how changes in hydrology influence erosion and sediment yields in rivers. 莱利的 research looks at interactions between climate and landscape response over short (event) to long (millennia) timescales, using alluvial stratigraphic records to archive past hydrologic dynamics and fluvial processes. Long-term perspectives provide important baseline information on the natural range of variability of landscapes and provide a much-needed reference to compare with historic and modern change. This information is relevant to private and public land managers for many different applications including restoration, natural hazard risk assessment and mitigation, and infrastructure planning (e.g.,水库容量).

When she is not teaching, you might find her guiding whitewater river trips, hiking with her daughter, 风笛手, or working in the garden.
