I am an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at Davidson College. I am a geologist interested in how landscapes have evolved after the last glacial period (~20,000 years ago) including how humans have impacted landscapes. My students and I have approached this theme broadly and have completed research on a large variety of landforms including dune , landslides, fluvial terraces, modern channels, and gully formation. We often use soil geomorphic techniques to approach these subjects. I consistently teach courses in my specialty including Surface Geology and Landforms and Soil Science. I also regularly teach Environmental Geology, Environmental Science, and the Environmental Studies Capstone Sequence.
Feel free to reach out of if you have any questions about my courses or my research. I especially encourage students to reach out if you have an interest in working in my lab.
