What I do
I study how the Earth's surface changes over recent and geological timescales. I like to research questions like:
-
What causes landscapes to uplift and why?
-
How does glacial retreat change erosional processes?
-
Can we accurately trace the source of sediments?
-
Can we create new and exciting ways of studying rocks and their minerals?
I do this with a wide range of tools such as:
-
Low-temperature thermochronology
-
Geochronology
-
Apatite geochemistry
-
Drone photogrammetry and Lidar
-
Landscape evolution modeling
-
Cosmogenic Nuclide Dating
