Eitan Shelef (Associate Professor)
I am interested in the multi-scale interactions between geomorphology, climate, tectonics and hydrology. In studying these interactions I apply an integrated approach where field observations inspire hypotheses, numerical and analytical models aid in quantitatively testing them, and topographic, statistic, and field-based analyses test model consistency with natural processes and forms. link to CV

Tyler Rohan (PhD Student)
I am interested in studying the relationships between tectonic, climate, and earth surface processes using statistical modeling and field/remote sensing techniques. I explore how these relationships impact infrastructure damage and natural hazard assessment. My research projects focus on using statistical/machine learning modeling to examine the influential factors governing landslide occurrence as well as generate accurate landslide susceptibility maps. I am also working toward quantifying the uncertainty of using citizen reported data for use in landslide hazard modeling.

Tianyue Qu (PhD Student)
I am interested in Earth surface processes and landscape evolution modeling. Currently I focus on processes of drainage reorganization, including drainage divide migration and knickpoint retreat near escarpments. I analyze geomorphic processes quantitatively and combine fieldwork, topographic analysis and numerical modeling in my research.

Emrah Ozpolat (PhD Student)
I am primarily interested in active tectonic deformation in extensional settings. In order to understand the pattern of tectonic deformation, I focus on alluvial fans and river terraces deformed by normal faults by applying Quaternary landform mapping, topographic analyses, and OSL dating. In addition, I have been working on the Holocene coastal evolution of the largest delta of Turkey, which is another one of my interests.
