Professor
Geomorphology
The primary goal of my research is to combine field measurements, analyses of digital data, and mathematical modeling to understand landform evolution. My work includes all major landform types (hillslope, fluvial, aeolian, glacial, coastal) and spans a wide range of spatial and temporal scales from microtopographic (~10^-3 m) to global (~10^7 m) and time scales of individual events (e.g. rainstorms, i.e. ~ 10^-4 y) to mountain building and decay (10^8 y).
