Ying Shi

Visiting Graduate Student (2014-2015)

Now: Hydraulic Engineering at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China

Vegetation patches have a significant impact on bio-ecological and geomorphic processes through momentum and mass exchange that occurs between the vegetation patch and surrounding environment. My research is focused on how suspended sediment is deposited around a vegetation patch. Using an artificial rigid canopy and changing the flow conditions, I will examine the sediment distribution around the canopy.
