Joshua West, Ph.D. is a Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Southern California he works on understanding erosional and hydrological processes at Earth’s surface including landslides and floods. Over the past decade, he has worked on catastrophic events and their impact on landscapes, such as the tens of thousands of landslides triggered by single large earthquakes and storms.
