I work on problems involving modeling of earth surface processes, such as the effects of erosion, weathering and creep, typically using cellular automata methods. Recently, I have become interested in “Neogeomorphology”, the study of the change of the earth’s surface as a result of human activity. Today the surface of the earth is undergoing a change as profound as that that occurred in the Silurian with the emergence of vegetation onto the continents. By an incredible stroke of luck (for a geomorphologist), we are alive at a time when it is possible to observe the rare phenomenon of a global transformation of the earth’s outermost layer as neogeomorphology redefines classical geomorphology. I am looking for students who would be interested in forging new directions in the emerging area of Neogeomorphology. |
