Roy J. Shlemon Center for Quaternary Studies

Research

Soils, Tectonics, and Land Surfaces

Earth’s surface undergoes constant change as tectonic processes play out, as weathering and erosion shape the land, and as soils form. Students and faculty involved in the Shelmon Center study a wide range of Earth surface processes from the interactions of climate and tectonics with weathering to watershed evolution and the processes that cause rivers to meander.
