Our research and approach

The UO Earth Surface Processes Laboratory focuses on hillslope geomorphology, particularly landslide processes and hazards, soil weathering and transport, carbon cycling, and landscape evolution. Our group uses an array of tools, including field observations, laboratory experiments, geochemical analyses, computer simulations, environmental sensors, high-resolution topography, and remote sensing to investigate the influence of tectonic, climatic, and anthropogenic forces on landscapes over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales.
