Marith Reheis

My entire post-graduate career has been in the USGS in Denver, migrating from Conservation to Geologic Division early on, and then residing in the evolving branches of Regional Geology -- Environmental Geology -- Climate Change -- Earth Surface Processes Team.  In parallel, my career has evolved through bedrock and surficial mapping, soil studies, neotectonics, desert dust sampling and analysis, and paleoclimate research, to a state of mixing them all together.
