Research Interests
My general research centers on the broad theme of delineating the controls of sedimentation in continental settings. My most recent work involves reading long-term climatic signals from sediments and sedimentary rocks. Specific research projects are outlined below, but over the past several years I have worked on fluvial, lacustrine and eolian systems of varying ages and tectonic settings. My main research methods lie in field-oriented data collection, however, I have increasingly employed geochemistry, computer imaging and modeling to supplement the field data.
My field areas include East Africa and the Southwestern U.S.--both wonderful places to work!
