For leading research to quantify mechanical and chemical processes of surface erosion affecting upper-level landscapes, contributing to the better understanding of soil production, transport and landscape dynamics. His extended work is testing hypotheses and building an education component that includes integrating field studies into instructional techniques and fostering undergraduate independent research. He is also involving earth science undergraduates in one-on-one mentoring of underrepresented secondary school students from Boston's inner city.
