Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding the role of Earth surface processes (e.g., erosion, sediment transport) in the global carbon cycle. Both natural erosion and human-driven land use change destabilize soils and transfer carbon from one reservoir to another. My goal is to link these physical processes with biogeochemical cycles and quantify their coupled impact on the carbon cycle. Key tools I use include 10Be cosmogenic radionuclide geochronology and radiocarbon measurement, both of which would not be possible without Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS).
