Bio

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in General Geology and Natural Hazards, Earth Surface Processes (Geomorphology), and Field Geology (aka Field Camp). Students in my group conduct research around the world, including in Mongolia, Greece, the Pacific Northwest, and of course in North Carolina. Typical student research projects include a combination of field-based studies that are paired with geospatial analysis and modeling.
