Joel P Johnson is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on quantifying active surface processes in hillslopes and fluvial channels, exploring the evolution of topography over short and long timescales. Johnson investigates complex geomorphic systems, including the feedback mechanisms that govern landscape processes and forms. His expertise covers climate gradients and bedrock properties affecting topographic development, tsunami and storm surge deposition controls, and sediment transport dynamics. His research also includes monitoring environmental changes through sensor networks and conducting laboratory flume experiments to model sediment transport and deposition. He has supervised numerous graduate and undergraduate students in their research projects, contributing to advancements in the understanding of geomorphology and landform evolution.
