I have been an Assistant Professor at OU since Jan 2023. Before that I was a postdoc at Arizona LaserChron (2019-2022) and a PhD student at University of Texas at Austin (2014-2019). I am fascinated by tectonic processes and use the sedimentary record, geochronology, and geochemistry to address a variety of questions.

Natalie is a new post-doc at OU. She did her PhD at Utah State University. Natalie is interested in the complex geologic controls that shape topography. Her research utilizes geochronology, field geology, and topographic analyses to gain insight into how geomorphic makers and their sedimentary archives can be used to reconstruct landscape evolution dynamics.
