Investigating rates and mechanisms of lateral erosion in a small bedrock river using erosion pins, structure-from-motion photogrammetry, and optically stimulated luminescence dating: Konza Prairie, northeast Kansas
Bedrock rivers play a critical role in landscape evolution by leaving signatures of past climate shifts, base level changes, and tectonic uplift in the landscape. While much is known about the mechanics of vertical bedrock incision, the fluvial processes driving lateral bedrock erosion and the …

Bedrock channel response to tetonic, climatic and eustatic forcings
The response of bedrock channels to external forcings is investigated in this thesis. The approach is to test and constrain a theoretical model for bedrock-channel incision based on shear stress using field data. The primary study area is a series of 21 small, coastal drainage basins in northern …

Stratigraphic response to Cordilleran processes along the south central Andean margin
… processes between subduction, magmatism, erosion, sediment routing, and deposition. This dissertation investigates the Phanerozoic to present sedimentary record to address the dynamic interactions among Earth-surface processes and lithospheric processes throughout a complex tectonic …

Revisiting Rock Mass Indices: Improving and Applying the Measurement of Erodibility
… as the slope of a rock mass, the geometry of bedrock channels, and the likelihood and type of potential slope failures. Yet, these systems are limited by shortcomings such as subjectivity, limited calibration, and failing to produce reasonable predictions of slope when rocks are mechanically …
