My research centers on using solid Earth deformation as a lens to understand coupling between ice sheets, sea level, and landscapes in the past. In particular I use glacial isostatic adjustment modeling as a tool to infer variations in past ice sheets, as well as to understand how landscapes record solid Earth deformation over the ice age.
