Geologic Mapping of the Lower Colorado River System
This project is a comprehensive scientific investigation into the stratigraphic, structural, and geomorphic framework of the Grand Canyon and the lower Colorado River corridor. We are using multiscale surficial and bedrock geologic mapping in combination with stratigraphic, geochronologic, and geophysical studies to develop a stronger understanding of the of the river, its iconic landscapes, and...
San Francisco Bay Area – SF Peninsula (BALT4) Site near Pacifica, CA
Landslides in the San Francisco Bay area (SFBA) of California impact people, infrastructure, and the environment, and are commonly induced by intense or prolonged rainfall associated with strong winter storms.

GeoMapping for Integrated Science
This project uses geologic and geomorphic mapping in the context of societally relevant problems in the Earth’s critical zone. Leveraging interdisciplinary research ties and interagency collaborations, it utilizes remote sensing data, corroborated with field observations, to determine i) the spatial distribution of geomorphic processes and ages of Quaternary deposits in the context of active...
