Basics
I am a geomorphologist, with interests in fluvial processes, tectonics, and thermochronology. My approach uses numerical models to explore and understand the physical processes that shape Earth's surface. I am a recovering member of Rudy Slingerland's Church of Sedimentology. I am currently a postdoctoral research associate in the Tectonics and Thermochronology Group at Syracuse University.
