  • Research:
    I am interested in how landscapes evolve with respect to climate and tectonics over varying spatial and temporal scales.

    My research focuses broadly on quantifying the linkages between climate and tectonics through the use of remotely sensed, geochemical, field, and numerical proxies of erosion. I am currently working in the Himalaya on spatial and temporal linkages between climate and tectonics as well as in southern California on constraining channel head initiation processes using high-resolution terrestrial LiDAR.
