Research interests

I am interested in the response of the landscape to external forcing by the rise of mountains, sea level, ice sheets and civilizations.  My research is focused primarily on constraining rates of erosion, timing of ice sheet fluctuations and long-term climate change using geochemical techniques, field-based data and numerical models.
