Research Interests

Dr. Todd Grote is a geoscientist with an affinity for the outdoors, both for research and recreation. A native of the Appalachians, Todd earned a Ph.D. in Geology from West Virginia University, specializing in the Quaternary Period (the past 2.6 million years) of Earth history. He currently has three main research threads: (1) reconstructing Quaternary landscapes and environmental conditions, (2) river responses to natural and human-induced environmental change, and (3) the geoarchaeology of river valleys.
