Associate Professor
Mapping a Dynamic Planet, Geomorphology
Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

Karl uses geospatial analytics to study how landscapes respond to tectonic and climatic forcing, and to decipher distinct topographic, erosional, stratigraphic, and bio-genetic signatures of this forcing. He combines geospatial analysis of topographic data with field-based investigations of Earth surface processes. His interests include the intersections of the fields of geomorphology, active tectonics, and biogeomorphology.
