geokyle@arizona.edu
Kyle House is a geologic mapping specialist with the Arizona Geological Survey at the University of Arizona, specializing in surficial geologic mapping, fluvial geomorphology and landscape evolution. House joined AZGS in November 2025, following 15 years with the U.S. Geological Survey (2010-2025) and 12 years with the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (1998-2010), where he taught field mapping in UNR's field camp for seven years. This marks his return to AZGS, where his career began as a Geologist from 1989-1996. House earned his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona and is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. He received the Kirk Bryan Award for his work on the origin and evolution of the Lower Colorado River. House uses detailed mapping to understand landscape evolution and has expertise in geologic flood studies, catastrophic floods, hazard assessments, and paleoflood hydrology. His research across the Southwest and intermountain west includes over 100 publications, including the "Ancient Floods, Modern Hazards" monograph (AGU).
