Project

Urbanization in cities and in historically rural areas changes the ways in which people, capital, physical elements, and knowledge are spatially organized, politicized, and managed. My newest research project examines the historical and contemporary issues of the science, management, transportation, and problem of sedimentation in urban rivers of northern Germany and New Zealand. I am interested in understanding how people frame sediment as a problem, who determines the appropriate solutions (including dredging), and the scales at which the problems and solutions are articulated.
