Career Prep Webinar with Ann Youberg

1. Career Prep Seminar with Ann Youberg - "Geologic Impacts of Wildfires"

 Friday, September 25, 2020 @ 10-11 a.m

Ann Youberg is a Senior Research Scientist at the Arizona Geological Survey in the University of Arizona. Ann has over 30 years of experience in geological, geotechnical and geomorphic investigations and has been with the Environmental Division of the AZGS for over 20 years. Ann’s work at the AZGS includes surficial geologic, geomorphic and geologic hazards mapping, but her main focus is on post-wildfire hazard assessments and research.

Faulting and earthquakes, subsidence and earth fissures, extreme precipitation and landslides, wildfires and post-fire debris flows. Geomorphologists have so many opportunities to study processes that actively shape the earth, and to conduct applied research that contributes to understanding and mitigating the hazards. In this seminar I’ll discuss my circuitous route to studying post-wildfire debris flows, and provide some tips for developing your own career path.
