Research and Teaching Interests

Dr. J.J. Lelis is a geographer interested in how soil helps us to understand landscape evolution. His interests include paleoenvironmental reconstruction, soil contamination, and the effects of climate change on soil properties. Dr. Lelis' methods include soil and sediment sampling, X-ray diffraction, micromorphology, geochemistry, and soil dating. His projects are focused on periglacial sites, dry forests, and rainforests.
