Bio
I am a sedimentologist interested in using sediments to understand Earth surface processes, including carbon cycling, and to reconstruct past environments and environmental change. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Earth History, Sediment Transport, Sedimentology, and Stratigraphy. Most of my research focuses on Holocene sediments in continental shelf, lake, and fluvial environments, but I am fascinated with sedimentary records of deep time as well. My students and I have worked in North Carolina, Utah, Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington, and New Zealand.
