My research program focuses on the comprehensive assessment of human driven changes in environmental systems.  Hydrology, geomorphology, biogeochemistry, ecology, and spatial analysis are combined to focus on fundamental landscape components, particularly fluvial (stream) and urban systems, over the last several centuries.  These inquiries are supported by state of the art laboratory facilities for the examination of sediment and water chemistry.  They are also strongly rooted in the measurement of the environment in the field and collection of historical data from archives.  I routinely pursue opportunities to work and lead in larger synthesis efforts, allowing rich interactions with a broad community.
