New essays out in Washington Square Review and Hippocampus.
Two recent bits of memoir now out: “In the Senate, We Read Dante, and I Love Him,” published in Hippocampus Magazine, and “Pillow Talk,” now out in NYU’s Washington Square Review.
European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly Presentation
A few slides from my (pop-art-inspired) EGU General Assembly presentation in May 2022 (Vienna). Don’t hesitate to get in touch for a copy of the full presentation (redacted here on on this public page until our data is published).
Just out in Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface (open access)! Using a numerical model, we demonstrate how the cosmogenic nuclides C-14, Be-10, and He-3 can be used to determine the erosion rate, erosion style, and long-term bedrock temperature in cold, high-alpine regions. We demonstrate that erosional stochasticity may bias erosion rates inferred from Be-10, but that this bias can be identified and accounted when measured against C-14. We likewise show that He-3 retention (used to infer long-term paleoclimate conditions) is not biased by erosional stochasticity.
GFZ PhD Day Video (2021)
At the annual PhD-day, I presented this short video introducing the work I’ve completed on my project so far.

vEGU General Assembly Digital Poster (2021)
Digital poster for the vEGU (all-digital) General Assembly meeting in 2021. Clicking the image brings you to the primary presentation, a 15-minute video where I present data from the Aiguille du Midi, and our findings regarding the temperature-dependence of erosion at that site.

AGU Fall Meeting “GeoGram” Digital Poster (2020)
“At” the entirely-digital American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in 2020, I presented findings about erosion rates, rockfall frequency and the temperature dependency of erosion in permafrost hillslopes using 3He, 10Be, and 14C. Within the framework of the online poster software, I organised the poster presentation as a series of posts on “GeoGram”—an imagined social media platform just for geosciences, which mimics a well-known photosharing app. The poster was intended for a broad, (geo)scientific audience.
The “posts” were shared by different users/personalities: mtn-permafrost-pro, the main personality, which introduced the subject, the findings, and the broader impacts; cosmogenics-on-tap, which outlined the basics of cosmogenic nuclides; and master-script-, stochastastic-script-, and code-runner, which introduced the various components of the numerical model I wrote, and which we used to interpret our data. The posts are organised here thematically from top to bottom, left to right, as in a research presentation: Introduction, Methods, Discussion/Conclusion, (Further Work), and Acknowledgements.
AGU Fall Meeting Poster (2019)
Poster presentation for the (in-person) AGU in 2019. The poster was presented in-person, and summarises the research from the first nine months of my PhD—the development of a numerical modeling framework for evaluating the temperature dependence of erosion. (Click image for abstract).
AGU Social Media Takeover
In spring 2019, I took over the AGU’s Instagram account for a week, and shared details of our research in the following videos.
