Surface Processes, Sedimentology & Hydrology

Surface process, sedimentologic, and hydrologic research at UCSB uses advanced field and lab techniques to investigate the stratigraphic record; quantify the flow of fluids; and explore the processes, rates, and controls of erosion, transport, and deposition in response to interactions among climate, tectonics, and the land surface.
