Slope distributions and erosion rates west central Andes, Peru and Chile
The other major part of my dissertation at Cornell. In this study I examined how the distributions in hillslopes vary along what we infer to be a relatively stable climate transect along the western flank of the Andes. In two regions of northern Chile I was also able to constrain erosion rates by reconstructing a 10 Ma depositional surface.
