Research Strategy
I like to change my focus with time and currently am working with others
on the origin of big river systems, a new book on shale, a paper on age
dating of Neoproterozoic sandstones with SHRIMP, the study of a small
valley in a coastal escarpment in Brasil, the longitudinal profiles of
rivers in the watershed of the Paraná Basin of Brasil, and local
geology around Cincinnati.
