Gaia Stucky de Quay focuses on investigating topographic signals and landscape evolution to both deconvolve and quantify primary driving forces such as tectonics, climate, and local geological processes across various timescales and planetary surfaces. She is interested in the surfaces of Earth, Mars, and icy moons. Her techniques combine lab work (e.g., Helium-3 cosmogenic dating), fieldwork (e.g., geomorphic mapping), remote sensing (e.g., drone imaging and satellite imagery), as well as theoretical studies of surface dynamics.
