Ari Matmon
Ari came to ¶¶Òõ̽̽ in 2000, for a post-doc period, and spent two years in Vermont doing several
projects before moving on to the USGS in California, and then Hebrew
University of Jerusalem where he now runs his own cosmogenic lab. His
interests include determining erosion rates cosmogenically and the
relationship between structure, tectonics, and geomorphology.
