Beach Lab Group
Soils, Hydrology, Geomorphology, and Geoarchaeology in the Department of
Geography and the Environment, UT-Austin
The Beach Research Labs, directed by Dr. Sheryl Luzzadder-Beach and Dr. Tim Beach, investigate questions of landscape and environmental change through the lenses of geomorphology, geoarchaeology, soil science, hydrology, and water chemistry. Our work focuses on the Maya world of the Neotropics, the Mediterranean, Iceland, the Andes, Texas, and other corners of the globe. Tim and Sheryl Beach founded these lab facilities in 2014 at the University of Texas at Austin after more than twenty years at Georgetown University in Washington, DC and George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. They built these labs in honor of Karl W. and Elisabeth Butzer in the Department of Geography and the Environment at UT Austin.
