We use cosmogenic isotopes (generally beryllium-10) to date glacial landforms and to address problem Our research takes us across the world.

We use cosmogenic isotopes (generally beryllium-10) to date glacial landforms and to address problems concerning global climate change. Our lab is based in the Sawyer Environmental Research Building at the University of Maine and includes a wide range of facilities that allows us to take a sample from a rock hand sample to a packed cathode target. Current projects are in Maine, Peru, Colombia, Mongolia, the Falkland Islands, Antarctica, New Zealand, and Chile.
