Research Interests

My research interests include 1) understanding the relationships between climate, tectonic forcing and stream sediment flux, particularly during the Pliocene and Quaternary, 2) the application of terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides (TCNs) to improve the utility of fluvial and glacio-fluvial records for Earth system science, and 3) improving and developing TCN-based techniques to provide new approaches that solve previously intractable surface processes questions.
