His 2006 paper on rates of natural versus anthropogenic rates of floodplain sedimentation was honored at the 2011 European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna as one of the top-50 most cited articles published in Geomorphology during the past 5 years. In addition to his active career as a teacher and scholar, Jim enjoyed Badger Football and Basketball, genealogy, and spending time on the family farm. Jim's Irish setters--Sean, Patrick, and Quinn--brought much happiness to his life. He was proud that both of his daughters followed him into education, and delighted that both his grandsons also enjoy science.
