Research Interests
- My work at the Minnesota Geological Survey centers on mapping
the surficial (glacial) geology of the state. I find the landforms
and deposits much easier to interpret if I can understand
the dynamics of the ice that created them. My research interests
span the separate but related fields of glacial geology (the
deposits and landforms created by glaciers) and glaciology
(the study of the physics of ice movement). I enjoy bringing
current research topics into the classroom.
