Clarke DeLisle, PhD student working in Brian Yanites' geomorphology group, got anOutstanding Student Presentation Award from the American Geophysical Union.
The award was for Clarke's virtual presentation at the December AGU conference titled Cascading Flood Hazard Following the 2009 Typhoon Morakot, Southern Taiwan. He found that large storms like the 2009 typhoon increase the probability of flooding for decades or longer after the storm, largely because of greater frequency of landslides that cause sediment aggradation.
