Athabasca RiverTamlin & I followed this river system throughout Alberta from Ft. McMurray to Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies. This was part of a UNC curriculum-based project to develop teaching materials on the interface between hydrology and geology in intra-continental river basins.

Nevada Basin & RangeJim, Maggie, and I scaled uplifted footwalls to collect samples and river elevation profiles. Goals were to a) reconstruct faulting histories using geomorphology and b) test competing fault growth models. This was part of Maggie's PhD thesis.

Himalayan FrontGeorge, Vikrant Jain (U. of Delhi), a few of his students, & I mapped river channel morphology and bedrock stratigraphy throughout the Mohand Range. We used this field area as an application for developing new remote-sensing based bedrock river metrics for addressing controls on equilibrium channel form. This was George's MS thesis.

Bolivian AndesJonathon, driver Jaime, & I measured lithostratigraphy throughout the southern central Andes. We used this data to constrain the controls on thrust belt river form from plateau flank to foreland. This was Jonathon's MS thesis.

Sikkim HimalayaCaitlin, Matin, Malay, Arpan, and myself chasing rock samples, duplex deformation, and fault zone exposures in the Lesser Himalaya. We used this pilot dataset to develop a project linking duplex development, exhumation, and focused precipitation as a key process in dynamic deformation processes.
