Research Interests

Currently, I am focused on the intersection of surface processes and societally relevant changes to natural landscapes. Motivated by the importance of steep landscapes in the Earth system and their key role as loci of natural hazards, I am deeply interested in leveraging natural hazards research to advance understanding geomorphic processes and to serve societal needs across multiple scales and disciplines. This research aim is a part of a larger vision that connects plate tectonics and erosion systems. I use a variety of approaches including field geology, thermochronometry, structural geology, remote sensing and modeling.

Fields of Study

Geomorphology, geodynamics, tectonics, and thermochronology, natural hazards, landslides
