I investigate the movement of water, sediment, and
nutrients through landscapes. My approach involves equal amounts
of experimental work, fieldwork, and computer modeling. I do research
across a wide range of spatial scales, from studying the process
of sediment detachment by a single raindrop to examining how monsoon
rains trigger landslides in the Himalayas. My general fields of
interest include hillslope evolution, the geomorphic controls on chemical weathering, and the coupling of the hillslope and fluvial systems. My experience
in developing process-specific hillslope sediment transport equations
at the hillslope scale has given me the opportunity to collaborate
with ecologists and biologists to uncover linkages between the biota
and geological processes. Ultimately, I am most interested in the
part of the landscape where geological, hydrological, and biological
processes all intersect. |
