Isaac Larsen

Congratulations to Dr. Isaac Larsen, who has been elected a Geological Society of America Fellow. 

"Across twenty years of research, Isaac has built a sustained and distinguished record of scientific contributions. He has developed skills in geochemistry, remote sensing, and numerical modeling to address geomorphic problems that he derives from field observation. Those problems include (1) landscape erosion rates, especially soil erosion in agricultural areas, with implications for soil carbon budgets; (2) soil production and chemical weathering in mountainous environments; and (3) bedrock erosion and canyon incision, especially by flood from glacial Lake Missoula. Linking much of this work is Isaac's uncommon care and creativity in applying cosmogenic nuclides to estimate rates of Earth-surface processes."
