Anne Carey, professor, School of Earth Sciences at The Ohio State University, has been a participant in the 2014 workshop on Innovative Approaches to Teaching Sedimentary Geology, geomorphology, and Paleontology. She is chair of the Earth Sciences undergraduate committee and instructor for several undergraduate major classes, including the honors section of Physical Geology and of Geomorphology. Her research shows importance of chemical weathering in the overall denudation of rapidly uplifting geologic environments and the need for mechanical weathering to produce fresh new mineral surfaces which can rapidly weathering chemically. Recent research on high-standing islands also shows small mountainous rivers to be important sources of dissolved and particulate organic carbon to the world’s ocean.
