معرفی
Dr. Karl Lang is an Assistant Professor in the School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on Solid Earth Sciences, Surface Processes, and Geochronology, with emphasis on understanding interactions between climate, tectonics, and landscape evolution. He holds a PhD from the University of Washington (2014) and a BS from the College of William and Mary (2008).
Key research areas include megaflood dynamics, exfoliation mechanisms, and sediment provenance. He has received notable awards such as the Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship (2015) and Vetenskapsrådet Postdoctoral Fellowship (2017). His work integrates field observations with cutting-edge analytical techniques like detrital thermochronology and machine learning for geologic mapping.
Recent studies explore the geomorphic legacy of megafloods in mountain rivers, leveraging SWOT satellite data and seismic monitoring. Collaborative projects with international teams address Himalayan tectonics and landslide impacts in Puerto Rico. His lab investigates rock fracturing processes and long-term landscape evolution feedbacks.
