Eric Barefoot
Eric Barefoot is a sedimentary geologist. He studies how the climate sculpts the landscapes on which we live, grow, and work. He uses measurements from the environment and sedimentary rocks to design experiments and computer models that connect sediment transport processes to the resulting deposits and landforms we observe in on Earth’s surface and in the strata.
The driving principle behind his work is that the past is the key to the future, and understanding how Earth’s landscapes evolved as a result of climate change throughout geologic time is critical for preparing for future climate impacts on communities and infrastructure. He is currently pursuing this research as a postdoctoral researcher with the Earth-Surface Processes Group at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory at the University of Minnesota.
