我Current Projects
- How does permafrost extent control the development of rivers, and how might warming change erosion rates and patterns?
- How did landscapes and vegetation communities co-evolve after permafrost thawed in ancient Appalachia?
- What are the best kinds of data and models to train computers to "find" landforms of interest in the Arctic?
- How does the layering and tilting of bedrock in Appalachia affect the formation of mountains and rivers?
