Geomorphology Lab
Geomorphology is the science of the study of landforms. Landforms on Earth range in size from large scale mountains to smaller scale phenomena, such as, individual meander bends on rivers like the Wabash. Geomorphology is concerned with both the form (morphology) of landforms and the means (processes) by which landforms are created.  Research in Geomorphology at Indiana State University is primarily concerned with the processes that operate in fluvial (river) environments and, in particular, with the erosion, transport, and deposition of sediment. The majority of our work is collaborative and field-based (most field areas are outside the United States). It is intended to provide the baseline information necessary for the development of effective modeling strategies at a variety of spatial scales, as well as advancing understanding of landform evolution and the sedimentary record.
