Colleen is investigating the erosional history if the Blue Ridge Escarpment in western North Carolina and Virginia using cosmogenic 10-Be. She will ultimately evaluate 10-Be production rates in basins of the upland, the escarpment itself, and the Piedmont region to better understand the geomorphic evolution of this striking landform.
