Geomorphology – the study of landforms and the processes that shape the Earth’s surface – integrates observations of tectonic, fluvial, glacial, aeolian, and coastal dynamics to explain landscape ...

Tectonic geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions ...

Rivers integrate the landscape, carrying and depositing water, sediment, large wood, carbon, and nutrients. Our research is focused on river and floodplain dynamics and the interactions between ...
