David S. Leigh
Professor · University of Georgia · University of Georgia
⭐ I am currently recruiting students with interests in Quaternary environmental change, geoarchaeology, paleoflood analysis, modern river channel change and aquatic habitat, and geomorphic consequences of dam removal.
Research interests
As a geomorphologist with interests in fluvial, eolian, hillslope, and soil systems, my overarching research themes examine late Quaternary climate changes and human impacts throughout the Holocene, including modern timescales. I specialize in Quaternary stratigraphy and sedimentology, paleofloods, geoarchaeology with emphasis on site formation processes, as well as geomorphic influences on stream habitat and aquatic ecology. I have extensive field experience in the southeastern and midwestern USA, highlands of south-central Mexico, western Argentina and Uruguay, and the Pyrenees Mountains of southern France.
