Associate Professor
Research Interests: My research interests center on utilizing both field and GIS techniques to investigate shoreline, inlet, and sediment dynamics along Southeastern U.S. and Caribbean coasts in response to natural and anthropogenic influences. Focal points of my research include quantifying and predicting shoreline/inlet changes, determining how the inherited geological framework and sea level plays a role in the evolution of the coast, developing software tools for analyzing shoreline and inlet dynamics, and mapping coastal hazards and human impacts.
