Aeolian Research
Most of my “serious” research is on aeolian (i.e., wind-related) processes and I am a proud and founding member of the Texas Wind Erosion Research People (TWERPs), an informal group of aeolian researchers.
​
​
I served as Co-Editor-in-Chief of Aeolian Research from its inception in 2009 to 2021 http://www.journals.elsevier.com/aeolian-research
