Research
Stuff
- If you’re a student at SUNY Oneonta looking for
independent study/research topics, here’s a list of ideas to explore.
- My main interests:
Rivers: erosion and depositional processes, alluvial stratigraphy,
channel stability, flood hydraulics, drainage basin evolution and
dynamics, glacial geomorphology, tectonics and landscape response;
shallow subsurface geophysics; what makes a good teacher; and every now
and then I’ll look at a fossil and go “huh!?…”
- Here are links to my Publications
and presentations about my research activities
- Here’s a brief intro to Flood effects in the Susquehanna
River headwaters, 2006. I haven’t done much with this topic of late,
but on every float trip, I still see the evidence of this event...
- Ground
penetrating radar (GPR) study for Archaeological purposes, Pine Lake
Environmental Camp (July 2008 to June 2011)
- Tree throw mound
evolution in Delaware's forested soil-mantled Piedmont
- Doctoral dissertation research with steady state erosion
in an experimental basin (this is an old site, but has a lot of
animations of experimental eroding landscapes)
- And here’s my cv

About
Les
I am hopelessly and happily an academic. By training I am
a geomorphologist/geologist. My passion is Earth’s land surface, but the
subterranean world always beckons... Like the Earth itself, I mantle myself
with soils, sculpt them with wind, glaciers, rain and rivers, but on the
inside, I'm all rocks caught in the turmoil of tectonics and metamorphism,
melting and hardening, quiescence and change. It's all good, with no apparent
end in sight of things to ponder, discover, pursue.
|
A few of my favorite things
- Float
- Hike with my honey (at right)!
- Try to capture light's
interplay with landscape
- Think and reflect
- Spend time with
friends
- Share good food with
friends
- Watch a movie
- Lounge in a landscape
- Bicycle...bicycle...bicycle
- Write poetry from time
to time to crystallize an idea
