Marc Caffee's research uses cosmogenic nuclide dating (measuring rare isotopes like Beryllium-10 and Aluminum-26 that build up in rock and soil when exposed to cosmic rays) to determine how long Earth's surface features have been exposed or how quickly they erode. His work spans dating past earthquakes on fault surfaces, reconstructing the retreat history of ancient ice sheets, and studying landscape erosion and uplift in regions such as the Himalaya, Iberia, the Atacama Desert, and Greenland.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2020 followed by a more modest but fairly steady pace of about two to three papers per year through 2026.
