Mitch D'Arcy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on geomorphology, sedimentary geology, palaeoclimate, geochronology, and remote sensing, particularly how climate change affects landscapes and surface processes. He has a keen interest in understanding the sensitivity of surface processes to climate and how these changes are recorded in terrestrial sediments and landforms. His main research areas involve the dynamics of sediment-routing systems and how erosional processes such as weathering and landslides respond to climatic signals. D'Arcy has conducted research in regions including western North America and the Central Andes, examining the response of landscapes to abrupt climate shifts and changes in hydroclimate. His prior experience includes a Postdoctoral Researcher position as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in Germany, where he worked on geochronological methods, cosmogenic-nuclide exposure dating, and the development of new tools for age estimation of geomorphic surfaces.
