She has mapped the surficial geology of half the State of Minnesota. She has taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels; her field-oriented glacial geology class at the U of M has been offered for the last 20 years. She has applied her understanding of glacial geology and landscape evolution to help protect surface waters, explore for groundwater and aggregate resources, and understand landslide hazards.
