James Gearon studies how water and sediment move across landscapes, shaping features like rivers, deltas, and lake basins over time. This work spans Earth environments (such as desert vegetation patterns and sedimentary rock layers) as well as planetary surfaces like Mars, and also touches on environmental issues such as tire-derived microplastic pollution. The research combines field observations, publicly available datasets, and geological interpretation.
