I am a Professor of Geology in the Dept. of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences (MEAS). My academic interests include research in the sub-fields of geomorphology, active tectonics and paleoseismology, geoarchaeology, anthropogenic landscape change, and geospatial analytics. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in General Geology and Natural Hazards, Earth Surface Processes (Geomorphology), and Field Geology (aka Field Camp). In addition, I am the co-director of the NC State University geology summer field course in New Mexico.

I approach research problems in a field-based, process-oriented, multidisciplinary manner. My research focuses on better understanding how landscapes respond to tectonic and climatic forcing to decipher distinct topographic, erosional, stratigraphic, and bio-genetic signatures of such. Students that I work with conduct research locally and at locations around the world through both field and remote-sensing activities. Typical student research projects include a combination of field-based studies that are paired with geospatial analysis and modeling.
