Research summary
AI-generated

Eric Barefoot studies how rivers, deltas, and sediment move and build landscapes over time, using field observations, dating techniques, and computer models. Much of the work examines how deltas grow and sink, how river channels shift, and what sedimentary rock layers reveal about past climate and water flow. The research also emphasizes open-source software, hardware, and data-sharing tools for the study of Earth's surface (geomorphology).
