Sean Gulick, University of Texas at Austin – Effect of Climate on Mountain Building

March 30, 2016

What can erosion tell us about climate change?

Sean Gulick, a geophysicist at the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, explains how climate can grind mountains faster than they can be rebuilt.

Sean Gulick is a research scientist and professor at the Institute for Geophysics at The University of Texas at Austin Jackson School of Geosciences. Gulick is interested in tectonic-climate interactions, the role of catastrophes in the geologic record and marine geophysical imaging. His current projects include tectonic and climate interactions in the St. Elias Mountains and surveyor submarine fan; geohazards and margin evolution of subduction and transform faulting in Alaska, Sumatra, and Japan; and the geologic processes and environmental effects of the Chicxulub meteor impact.
