His Glacier Environmental Change research group, part of the Byrd Polar Research Center, addresses physical and human dimensions of environmental change in glacierized landscapes in sites all along the American Cordillera, as well as Africa and Asia. His research group collaborates with researchers in different institutions internationally and uses multiple methods from paleoclimatology, geomorphology, embedded instrumentation, hydrology, GIS, remote sensing, and biogeochemistry.
