The
interaction of weather and gravity with the diversity of materials
found at the Earth's surface results in a spectacular array of
landscapes. As a geomorphologist, I am interested in the evolution
of landforms as the result of physics and chemistry operating
at the surface of the Earth. I use a variety of tools such as
cosmogenic dating and thermochronometry to understand the pace
of landscape development. I also use mathematics and numerical
computer models to understand how distinctive landforms emerge
from the interactions between physical processes.
