Darryl E. Granger studies how landscapes change over long timescales, using cosmogenic isotopes (like beryllium-10, aluminum-26, and chlorine-36 produced by cosmic rays in rocks) to date sediments, measure erosion rates, and reconstruct the history of rivers, glaciers, and caves. This work also supports dating of archaeological and fossil sites, including ancient human remains in Asia. Prospective students would likely engage with geochemistry, field-based sample collection, and quantitative modeling of erosion and landscape evolution.
