West Virginia has some of the most landslides per capita in the U.S. It’s important to understand what controls landslide risk, as well as how those risks will evolve through time with changing land use and climate.
On a more basic level, I’m also very interested in how landslides influence landscape evolution and move sediment from source to sink. I have a variety of projects planned on this general theme.
