BRENDA BOWEN
Professor
Geology & Geophysics
BIO
I explore sedimentology, geochemistry, and environmental change to advance understanding of landscape evolution over geologic to human timescales. I use field observations, remote sensing, and a wide range of lab-based analytical techniques (geochemistry and microscopy) to characterize and interpret records of change. I also work to facilitate interdisciplinary research and practice to address critical issues of global change and sustainable solutions.
