Research themes
I work where surface processes meet deep Earth — using landforms, sediments, geochronology and numerical modelling to read how landscapes record climate cycles, tectonicsem and mantle convection.
Fluvial terraces as climate archives
Combining cosmogenic nuclide dating and numerical modelling to obtain quantitative paleo-climate information.
current
Glacially accelerated incision
How does the magnitude and periodicity of glacial cycles affect the rate of valley incision?
current
Desert pavements
Using cosmogenic nuclides to quantify the rates and processes driving the co-evolution of desert pavements and patterned vegetation.
current
Sediment routing
Quantifying source-to-sink sediment transporth through geochemistry and landscape evolution modelling
past
Landscape evolution in deep time
Quantifying rates of topographic growth and decay.
past
Continental dynamic topography
Testing predictions of dynamic topography using geological data.
past
