About me
Hi there! My name is Maryn Sanders (she/her), and I'm a PhD Candidate at the University of Oregon working with Josh Roering. I'm a geomorphologist by training, and my research interests lie primarily in understanding the cascading influence of hillslope processes on landscape evolution and regional hazards.
My passion for geomorphology stems from my undergraduate research project at the University of California, Berkeley, where I mapped and quantified initiation thresholds for rainfall-induced shallow landslides in the Northern California Coast Range. After Berkeley, I continued as a research assistant for the Eel River Critical Zone Observatory, where I collected data on deep vadose zone (3 - 30 m) and shallow soil (<2 m) moisture dynamics, and learned the immense value of integrating disciplines into a unified perspective.
