Limaye studies the evolution of landscapes on Earth and other planets, focusing on the role of rivers. Current research topics include river forms, dynamics and deposits; landscape and sedimentary records of climate on Mars and Titan; and feedbacks between landslides and ecology in central Virginia. Tools for this work include remote sensing, geospatial analysis, numerical modeling and laboratory experiments.

My research focuses on fluvial geomorphology and sedimentology. Research themes include evolution of eroding valleys and river floodplains, turbidity currents, and environmental reconstruction
from sedimentary deposits on Mars. This work applies quantitative approaches from laboratory experiments, numerical modeling, field observations, and remote sensing. For
