Landscape Evolution Under Variable Climate and Tectonic Forcing

Date: 10/23/2025 (Thursday)

Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm

Location: Geology 1707

Presented By: Nicole Gasparini* – TBA

Abstract:
Understanding landscape evolution requires integrating climate variability, tectonic uplift, and surface processes that act over multiple timescales. This talk presents recent findings from field studies and numerical models that investigate how climate and tectonics interact to shape mountain ranges and river networks. The discussion will explore how sediment transport, erosion rates, and channel incision patterns reflect the coupling between climate forcing and geologic structure. These findings contribute to improved predictive models of landscape change in active orogenic regions.
