My primary interest is in glacial processes. I study glacial process through a combination of glaciology and glacial geomorphology. I use tools from geophysics and glacial geology to study processes in the field and computationally. I also use tools from rock mechanics and geotechnical analysis to investigate glacial processes in a laboratory setting. I conduct fieldwork in places like Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and the upper midwest to understand how glaciers interact with their beds. What are the mechanics of sliding and what types of glacial landforms are left behind once the glaciers retreat. I’m primarily dedicated to combining quantitative field data with laboratory data in order to test and develop theoretical treatments that can be applied in the fields of glaciology and glacial geomorphology.
