Lindsay Schoenbohm is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Her research primarily focuses on the interdisciplinary field of climate-tectonic interactions, examining questions related to Earth's Surface Processes and Tectonics. She investigates how glacial and fluvial erosion contribute to rock deformation and the growth of continental plateaus, as well as how landscapes can reflect tectonic deformation. Utilizing structural geomorphic field-based mapping, Schoenbohm's team employs cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine erosion rates, alongside digital elevation data and satellite imagery for thorough landscape analysis. Her work notably emphasizes the extreme gradients found at the Andean and Tibetan plateaus and aims to elucidate the roles of climate in initiating, enlarging, and sustaining these geological formations.
