OverviewAI-generated summary

Gordon McCain's research focuses on the hydrological and geomorphological dynamics of large river deltas, particularly the Mississippi-Atchafalaya diversion system. His work investigates the factors influencing discharge partitioning and avulsion potential within these complex environments. A 2021 publication examined these influences on the Mississippi-Atchafalaya diversion from 1926–1950, building on earlier work from 2020 that also covered the 1916-1950 period. His 2016 research explored the impact of channel dredging on avulsion potential at the Atchafalaya River and questioned the extent to which human intervention, specifically dredging, controls natural processes. McCain also has a publication in astrophysics, detailing measurements related to Type-I X-ray bursts using the Super-Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph.
