Expertise and focus:

My research interests are in reconstructing the dynamics of past glaciers and ice sheets through the tools of glacial geomorphology and Quaternary geology. In particular, I am interested in the deglaciation dynamics of the North American Ice Sheet Complex and the linkages to global climate during the Late Glacial. I use both remote sensing and field based methods. Geographically, my research focuses on North America but I have also published studies from Europe, Siberia and Antarctica.
