Patton, Annette
- Landslide and hillslope processes
- Watershed Hydrology
- Community-led research
My current research focuses on landslide initiation thresholds, hillslope hydrology and monitoring, and geomorphic mapping. I collaborate with local land managers, community leaders, as well as state and federal scientists to empower communities, support risk reduction, and inform land management practices.
