I enjoy doing all sorts of things outdoors
Paul Bierman, Geomorphologist and Geochemist
I am a Geomorphologist with wide-ranging interests including isotope
geochemistry, surface processes, human-induced landscape change, and rates
of erosion. I am particularly interested in working at the interface
between active research, education, and science literacy at all levels
-- thus my involvement in the Governor's Institutes of Vermont (a
residential program for high school science students) and NSF's Career and DTS
programs combining research and education.
The Cosmogenic Nuclide
Laboratory is where much of my research and that of my
students happens. Ours is a purpose-built lab where we can extract Be,
Al, and Cl from rocks and sediment.
Our team is
key. Since 1993, I have advised undergraduates, graduate
students at both the MS and PhD level, and post docs from both UVM
and elsewhere. We have hosted collaborators from around the world.
We are involved in projects all
over the world. Short project summaries tell you more about what we
have done, provide photographs, and provide links to relevant
publications.
A list of
publications authored by people working with me in the
field, at UVM, and elsewhere is available here. PDFs of these works are available.
