Research interests: Coastal Geology, sedimentation, estuaries, climate and sea-level changes I am interested in how coastal systems respond to climate and sea-level changes. I use the sedimentary record to decipher the long-term history of coastal systems such as estuaries, barrier islands, and beaches. I am providing the SBC LTER a long-term perspective for placing current environmental changes into context. For this study, I will be taking sediment cores and using them to reconstruct a long-term record of how the physical processes affecting the coast have changed through time.
