About me and my research
My research has examined Earth Surface Processes at scales ranging from
micron thick coatings of rock varnish to the evolution of Namibian
landscapes. My current research interests include the rate of bedrock
erosion and sediment production, which involves field work in such
locations as central Australia and the Canadian arctic. I have also been
investigating the erosion history of large rivers and drainage basins.
My students and I have been deeply involved in trying to understand the
Holocene evolution of New England, in particular the timing and
distribution of major storms over the past 10,000 years.
Over the last few years, I have been exploring the recent record of
landscape change by leading the NSF supported Landscape Change Program,
an on-line archive containing thousands of images of Vermont landscapes
going back over 200 years.
I lead a cosmogenic isotope lab where we extract 10-Be and 26-Al for
isotopic analysis and spend long nights in the accelerator mass
spectrometer at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory making measurements.
