Joel Johnson's research focuses on quantifying active surface processes along hillslopes and fluvial channels, relating these processes to topographic evolution over short and long timescales. His common themes include understanding feedbacks in complex geomorphic systems, interpreting relationships between landscape processes and forms, and distinguishing signatures of external forcing from internal system dynamics. His research topics encompass quantifying climate gradients and bedrock properties that influence topographic development, understanding the controls on tsunami and storm surge deposition, and constraining feedbacks related to sediment transport rates and sorting, as well as the evolution of bed roughness in mountain rivers.
