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 Institute of Vermont (a residential program for high school science students) and NSF's Career and DTS programs combining research and education. I am the lead author of the newest Geomorphology textbook as well as junior author of an Environmental Geology textbook.

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 lab is funded by the US National Science Foundation as a community facility welcoming visitors from around the world to process samples.



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. I am currently taking graduate students through the MS and doctoral programs in UVM's Rubenstein School of the Environment and Natural Resources.



A list of publications authored by people working with me in the field, at UVM, and elsewhere is available here.
