Biography

I am broadly interested in the intersections of people and the environment, especially how people alter rates of erosion. Related to this interest, I explore how we quantify erosion and changing rates of erosion. Much of this work is done using a variety of geochemical techniques. My research takes place locally in Ohio, elsewhere in the US, and abroad, and is in collaboration with colleagues at a variety of other institutions.  

I teach a required class at the intermediate level: Earth Surface Processes, which explores the processes that shape the surface of Earth. I also teach topical and more general geoscience classes at the introductory level.

Please check out my personal website for more information on classes and research.
