Document:
research on the Quaternary evolution of the Amazon basin and the relationship between climate and sea-level change and the changing fluvial system.
NSF-funded research on the Quaternary Environmental History of the Lake Qinghai Basin, Northeastern Tibet.
NSF-funded research on the Quaternary paleoclimatology and fluvial and lacustrine sedimentology of the Rio Desaguadero Basin and the Holocene fluvial and climate history as related to cultural history in the Cirum-Titicacaregion. Both of these projects involve field work on the Bolivian/Peruvian Altiplano and are focused on establishing links between terrestrial climate change records (ice cores and lake sediment records), fluvial and lacustrine sedimentology, and human land-use.

an NSF-funded project on the geomorphic effects of Hurricane Floyd on the Tar River Basin.
