Research Interests:
Understanding rates of landscape change over millennial time-scales using cosmogenic isotopes: bedrock channel incision along the U.S. mid-Atlantic passive margin (Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers), basin-wide erosion rates through time in a variety of tectonic environments; Waipaoa River Basin, North Island, New Zealand, and major drainages along the U.S. Atlantic passive margin.
