Research summary

Stephan Toby studies how sediments move across landscapes and accumulate into layered rock (strata) over time. A central question in this work is whether environmental changes—such as shifts in sediment supply or climate—leave detectable 'signals' in the geological record, or whether the natural dynamics of rivers and underwater fans erase them. Much of this research uses numerical computer models and field data to test what the rock record can and cannot tell us about Earth's past.
