I am a fourth-year PhD student in Geomorph … I am a fourth-year PhD student in Geomorphology at CU Boulder. My research focuses on the evolution of hillslopes developed in layered sedimentary and igneous rocks, particularly when they occur in tilted formations (hogbacks). Every hillslope model I make uses an initial condition that assumes a certain tectonic history. For example, models of hogback evolution begin with a predetermined rock fracture structure and dip of tilted layers, and are driven by independently assigned boundary incision or rock uplift rates. While these tectonically-relevant processes control much of the behavior of the model, I have yet to implement them in a physically-based way. Additionally, this modelling approach fundamentally focuses solely on the influence of tectonics on hillslope evolution without considering interactions between the two. The Coupling of Tectonic and Surface Processes workshop would be an ideal opportunity for me to connect with other researchers in order to better understand the feedbacks between hillslope evolution and tectonic drivers at the landscape scale. If given the opportunity to attend, I plan to present a poster about my collaborative work with Charlie Shobe regarding the role of large blocks of rock in a 2-D coupled hillslope and fluvial model in Landlab. This project is relevant to the workshop because it illustrates how feedbacks between hillslopes and can modulate the propagation and overall effects of tectonically-induced base level change on landscape evolution. base level change on landscape evolution. +
