Karl Wegmann

Bio

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.
