Climate, Tectonics and Landscape Evolution

Research

My research interests lie in the interdisciplinary study of geochemistry and geomorphology. I am involved in the study of chemical weathering and erosion using different analytical methods (riverine chemistry, soil weathered profile, and cosmogenic radionuclide analyses). This study will enhance our understanding of the surface processes on different timescales. I am also interested in numerical models to examine the climatic, tectonic, and biotic controls on surface processes and their interactions to form and evolve landscapes. My study areas will be in the western U.S. and the southeastern margin of Tibet.
