Professor of Geography and Earth Science
His research interests are in geoarcheology, soils, and geomorphology.
Recent research topics by students include chemical analysis of
archaeological sediments, micromorphology of soils at an archaeological
site, site formation processes at a Paleo-Indian site, hydrologic
response of small streams to rainfall events, accelerated bluff-slope
erosion, wind and wave relationships on lakes. Students have full access
to a variety of field equipment and to the Geography and Earth Science
Soil Laboratory to carry out their research. For more information go to
