Welcome to my Desert Piedmont research!


This is an oblique aerial photograph of the Iron Mountains and the low gradient piedmont. The white orthogonal lines are roads built in 1942 for Camp Iron Mountain, a training camp used for two years during World War II.

Much of my time is spent thinking about desert processes. I have mainly worked on desert piedmont processes in the Mojave Desert where I have quantified long-term sediment transport rates and depositional processes and rates. Click on the appropriate link to see project summaries.
