My research attempts to understand how changes in Earth\u2019s surface processes, oceans, and tectonics are represented in the formation of clastic strata from coastal and estuarine systems to the deep sea. I have focused heavily on deciphering how the <span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0012825215300465\">cryosphere<\/a><\/span> (ice sheets, streams, and glaciers) creates sediment and the fidelity of strata to record these processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Our research group integrates subsurface data (samples, logs, <span style=\"color: #993300\"><a style=\"color: #993300\" href=\"http:\/\/iodp.tamu.edu\/scienceops\/expeditions.html\">drill core<\/a><\/span>) with geophysical data and numerical models of surface processes to test <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/clasticdetritus.com\/2008\/05\/28\/the-future-of-sedimentary-geology\/\">source-to-sink concepts<\/a><\/strong> of how strata are\u00a0formed. We also use highly resolved temporal data (cores, air photos, digital elevation models) from modern settings to document the role of current climate change on sedimentary processes. Our research is highly interdisciplinary and involves collaborators in all fields of geosciences at U.S. and international institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Please go to my research page to view more details of my publications, projects, and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Office Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 1:00 &#8211; 3:00\u00a0pm and by appointment<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Office: 225\u00a0Williamson Hall<br>\nPhone: (352) 846-1381<br>\nFax: (352) 392-9294<br>\nEmail:jmjaeger@ufl.edu<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Mailing address:<br>\nDepartment\u00a0of Geological Sciences<br>\nUniversity of Florida<br>\nP.O.
