At Fort Lewis College, I am developing a student-centered research program wherein undergraduates will get hands-on experience doing original research on a variety of topics in geomorphology and environmental geology. Active research themes include (but are not limited to): -Collection and analysis of high-resolution topographic data for mapping and characterization of geomorphic hazards and processes (particularly landslides) -Use of geochronology to constrain the ages of Pleistocene and Holocene sediments and surfaces -Using new satellite-based platforms for remote sensing of landscape change over human timescales -Monitoring fluvial geomorphology in regional rivers, particularly the Dolores River -Deriving Holocene landscape histories from ephemeral streams of the Colorado Plateau region I am also interested in weather and climate -real-time storm and hydroclimate monitoring -tracking climate over decadal timescales with real data -GIS as applied to just about anything
