CAREER: Quantifying climate induced landscape evolution during early Eocene hyperthermals — NSF Award to University of Minnesota-T

The US has incurred billions of dollars in damage from extreme precipitation events linked to anthropogenic climate change since the 1980s. Increased erosion and sediment yield from these events is likely to damage soils, clog rivers, and cripple hydraulic infrastructure. However, we have little information on the magn

AbstractThe US has incurred billions of dollars in damage from extreme precipitation events linked to anthropogenic climate change since the 1980s. Increased erosion and sediment yield from these events is likely to damage soils, clog rivers, and cripple hydraulic infrastructure. However, we have little information on the magnitude of the response of our rivers and landscapes to global climate change because these changes occur on timescales difficult to measure in our lifetimes. Therefore, we must look
