Research Interests

• Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides and their application to problems in Quaternary dating, geomorphology and glaciology.

• Quantifying the effects of glaciers and ice sheets on landscape evolution.
• Reconstructing the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian and East Antarctic ice sheets.
• Measurement of erosion rates with Be-10 and Al-26, to study long-term landscape evolution, soil development and transport, and the effects of neotectonics and climate change.
• Cosmogenic burial dating using the relative decay of Be-10 and Al-26

My work is largely interdisciplinary and includes collaboration with scientists in geomorphology, Quaternary geology, glaciology, nuclear physics and geochemistry.
