Christina Neudorf, PhD, Assistant Research Professor
Christina is a Assistant Research Professor and Manager of the DRI Luminescence Laboratory (DRILL). Her research combines field observations and sedimentology, sampling, remote sensing (the interpretation of air photos, satellite imagery, Digital Elevation Models or LiDAR imagery), and geochronological methods to gain insights into the style and rate of landscape change and human/environment interactions in the Quaternary Period. Her research includes developing luminescence dating techniques to refine temporal records in archaeology and geology, and she is the writer of The Glow Curve Blog: https://theglowcurve.org/blog.

Kathleen Rodrigues, Postdoctoral Researcher, DRI
Kathleen’s research interests are in developing new luminescence dating techniques. Her PhD dissertation project involved developing a luminescence approach to dating the eruption age of volcanic glass to better date tephras in the geomorphic record. Kathleen is also working on evaluating the assumptions involved in applying OSL to dating river terraces to find incision rates. She also contributes to a variety of luminescence dating projects in the DRI Luminescence Lab.
Amanda Keen-Zebert, Assoc. Prof., Dir. DRI Luminescence Lab
Amanda’s research interests are lie at the intersection geochronology and geomorphology. She uses luminescence dating to find the rates and timescales of geomorphic processes and their response to climate, tectonic, environmental, and anthropogenic change over the Quaternary.
