My group conducts field and laboratory-based studies of muds and mudrocks, in order to answer questions related to resources, hazards, and environmental change. Our primary focus is on continental basins - we study lacustrine, wetland and riverine environments. The toolkit we use is diverse and integrates techniques in stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochemistry, geophysics, and paleoecology. Current student-centered projects focus on: (1) stratigraphy, paleoenvironments, and conservation limnogeology in the East African rift, (2) source-to-sink sedimentology and landscape evolution in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil, (3) paleolimnology and paleoclimate in the eastern Sierra Nevada (CA), (4) basin analysis and paleoseismology in the Grand Tetons (WY), and (5) glacial geology and geomorphology in Kentucky.
*******I will be on sabbatical from May 2019 to August 2020. I will not be responding to phone calls or e-mail during this time. I am not seeking applications for new graduate students to join my group at this time (likely next recruiting period will be Fall 2021). Thank you!*******
