Her graduate thesis included investigating how hydrological features of rainstorms effect debris-flow initiation in the Intermountain West. Her work utilizes field observations from debris-flow monitoring stations and develops a physics-based model to test the impact of various storm direction and speed scenarios on debris-flow magnitude and velocity. At LCI, Francesca has worked on projects incorporating geologic mapping, seismology, and engineering geology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Projects:<\/strong><br><strong>&#8211; <\/strong>PG&amp;E Undergrounding<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francesca Skene, MSStaff Geologist&#8211; Engineering geology&#8211; Landslide Investigations&#8211; Geomorphology Ms. Skene joined LCI in 2026 with a background in geomorphology, landslide hazards, physical modeling, and engineering geology.
