I specialize in: (1) glacial and periglacial geomorphology, (2) utilizing GIS and Visual Basic to evaluate natural Earth processes, and (3) characterizing climate change using data gleaned from the geomorphic record. My dissertation research focused on the climatic significance of periglacial landforms in the arid southwestern United States, utilizing GIS as a predictive tool for studying these features, and evaluating the genesis of rock glaciers.

Projects include: evaluating and improving undergraduate education in the Earth Sciences, investigating the spatial relationships between Chilean petroglyphs and historic travel networks, developing three-dimensional computer exercises for visualizing a variety of landforms, and cataloging the various micro-textures on glacially affected clasts.
