Sedimentary Geology & Geomorphology<\/h1>\n
Sedimentary geology encompasses a broad array of inquiry concerning the evolution of the Earth\u2019s marine and terrestrial surfaces and the biological, chemical and physical processes that act upon them. Sedimentary geologists at NAU study both modern environments and vast ancient tectonic basins using a variety of conventional and modern techniques. In the modern realm, we use fundamental and applied geomorphological research to study erosion, deposition and formation of landforms and sediments. We use a combination of field surveys, remote sensing, laboratory analyses, and numerical modeling in desert, mountain, hillslope, river, coastal, and estuarine environments.<\/p>\n
