Research

I am a geomorphologist interested in the evolution of landscapes, with particular emphasis on alpine landscapes.

I focus on processes, including glacial, coastal and fluvial erosion of bedrock. I employ cosmogenic radionuclides to constrain rates and timing in the landscape, field studies to document the specific processes acting, and numerical modeling to knit it all together.
