   intro_statements:
   - I study how Alaska's landscapes adjust to earthquake-related rock uplift, climatic
     change, and human action. My science is strongly fieldwork-oriented, and also
     uses geographic information systems, digital topography analysis, simple models,
     and collaborations with academic experts in cosmogenic isotope geochemistry
     and luminescence dating. Results from my work provide the general public and
     scientific community with basic information about how, when, where, and how
     fast or slow Alaska's land surface has uplifted, eroded, and produced mineral
     resources such as placer gold.
