Environmental Aspects of Mining Other Research Interests Teaching

 

Paul Jewell

Department of Geology and Geophysics

University of Utah

The major thrust of my research is applying hydrologic principles to fundamental problems of sedimentation, geomorphic evolution, and geochemistry in surface water environments. This is accomplished by acquiring critical field data through mapping and technologies such as LiDAR and incorporating them into models of varying sophistication. I am presently working on three surface environments: Pleistocene Lake Bonneville in the western United States, alluvial channels and erosion in the intermountain west, and environmental aspects of mining. The links above give additional details of my interests. Feel free to contact me at paul.jewell@utah.edu
