Associate Professor, Diane Foster
Dr. Foster and her students examine small-scale transport of sediment in response to waves and mean flows. Faculty Page.
Current Students from the University of New Hampshire
Donya Frank
Donya studies the interaction of individual sediment grains with wave and Mean flows. Donya is a recent graduate of Harvey Mudd College. Being from Jamaica, she has an especially good appreciation for coastal engineering.

Claire Nichols, B.S.
Claire studies the effect of small-scale flow structures over rippled sea beds with Particle Image Velocimetry data obtained during the CROSSTEX experiment. For her undergraduate work, Claire Nichols studied the Evaluation of Wave-Current Bottom Boundary Layer Models in her thesis. Homepage.
Jenna Brown
Jenna studied the changes in bedform geometry for different wave Forcing regimes with experimental data obtained at CROSSTEX
Kim Hatton, B.S.
Kim studied the scour of vertical piles in riverine and coastal environment with a two-axis rotating sonar and a numerical model, FLOW-3D. For her undergraduate work, Kim Hatton studied The Scour and Burial of Submerged Mines in her thesis. Homepage.
Heather Smith, M.S.
Between sediment and obstacles placed on the sea bed with a combination of numerical and laboratory experiments. For her M.S. thesis, Heather Smith studied Modelling the Flow and Scour Around a Immovable Cylinder. Homepage.
Parag Natoo, M.S.
Parag Natoo studied the Evaluation of Near bed Suspension in a Wave and Current Dominated Environment in his thesis.
