PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE
The focus of my research, publishing, and teaching over the last ~30 years has been on coastal,
estuarine and inner shelf sedimentology and surficial processes. My most recent research focuses
on seafloor characterization and change analyses, coastal geomorphology and processes, and the
stratigraphy, sea-level history and Holocene evolution of nearshore marine systems. My teaching
experience ranges from introductory geology, oceanography, and sedimentology to advanced
level courses in coastal and estuarine systems.
