My research is driven by an overarching interest in abiotic vs. biotic, lithologic and climatic controls on bedrock to soil conversion and – ultimately – how those factors control landscape evolution.
I was recently awarded an NSF EAR postdoctoral fellowship for my for cross-Critical Zone Observatory proposal: Cracking the critical zone: Tree roots in fractures and a proposed mechanistic soil production function. For more details on my postdoc research click here.
