Landscape evolution of Ethiopian Plateau

This is a collaborative project with the ETH Biogeoscience Group, using concepts in surface dynamics as well as organic biomarkers to answer larger-​scale questions about the Ethiopian Plateau, Eastern Africa

1. Numerical modeling and 10Be cosmogenic nuclides allow us to investigate landscape evolution and rates of change in the study area.
2. The structure and isotopic composition of organic molecular biomarkers help us reconstruct past changes in eco-​hydrology and topography of the Plateau over the past 30 million years.
