Specialty: Quaternary Geology, GIS, Paleoclimatology, and High-Latitude Environmental Change.

Research Interests: Pleistocene glacier fluctuations and paleoclimate forcing for Alaska, through field research and data analysis, including spatial analysis with GIS. Spatial analysis of modern Alaskan glaciers, including links between equilibrium line altitudes and climate. Icefield archeology and remote sensing. Arctic coastal erosion and flooding.
