Phillip "Dan" Royall
Dan Royall is a geoscientist with research interests focused on the physical dynamics of watersheds. He has principally been engaged with understanding human impacts on watershed erosion and sedimentation, and their consequences for water quality, land preservation, and streambed ecology. Recent research projects relate to sediment budgets, erosion and sedimentation records preserved in lakes, the recovery of watersheds from disturbance, soil loss measurement and prediction, and the influence of biota on watershed processes. In addition to geomorphological interests, Dr. Royall has a research background in Quaternary paleoecology and geology.
