Paul Hanson
Paul Hanson is an assistant professor in the School of Natural Resources, and is associated with the Geography/GIScience Faculty and the Geology and Soils Faculty. Hanson’s main research interests are in studying the responses of river, hillslope, and eolian (wind-deposited) systems to climate change. My research goals include studying the evolution of the Platte River system, and the responses of rivers and dune systems to climate change in the recent past. For much of this work, Hanson uses Optically Stimulated Luminescence (aka OSL), a relatively new technique that is used to date sediments and to reconstruct past histories for various geologic environments. Hanson teaches courses in physical geography and leads Natural Resource field trip courses to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota and Big Bend National Park in Texas.
