Danika F. Mayback studies large-scale rock landslides (called gravity slides) and the geologic history of rock formations in Utah and Wyoming, USA. This work combines fieldwork on landslide mechanics (why and how huge slabs of rock fail and move) with geochronology (dating rocks and minerals) and provenance studies (tracing where sediment grains originally came from) to reconstruct ancient landscapes and the timing of geologic events. The research also includes detailed geologic mapping of quadrangles and a study using tooth cementum layers to estimate the age of a fossil mammal.
Publication output was minimal before 2019, rose to a peak of eight items in 2022 (mostly conference abstracts), and has since dropped back to about one per year through 2024.
