Geomorphology at Berkeley prospers because of the diversity of strong research programs across the campus and because of a commitment to undergraduate teaching and graduate training.  The core faculty consist of Kurt Cuffey (Geography), William Dietrich and Jim Kirchner (Department of  Earth and Planetary Sciences). Their research programs (found on this web page) tackle a wide range of topics including glacier mechanics, paleoclimate analysis, environmental geochemistry, landscape evolution, hillslope erosion mechanics, flvuial processes, restoration geomorphology, and biologic extinctions and evolutionary processes. These faculty and their students interact and collaborate with many other related groups on campus, including:

 The Berkeley Geomorphology Group has a computer laboratory consisting of several SUN systems and PC's and is supported by a full time programmer, Dino Bellugi.

 An unusual and important resource that the Group uses is the Richmond Field Station.  The stations is about 20 minutes from campus and it is where students in the group are doing research using experimental channels and hillslopes.  See discussions by Leonard Sklar and Josh Roering.
