I am a coastal geomorphologist and sedimentologist with a research emphasis on identifying links between terrestrial and nearshore sedimentary processes and larger-scale climatic controls on coastal geomorphology. My research themes include (1) exploring morphodynamic feedbacks in surface processes across modern to Late-Pleistocene coastal systems, (2) coastal hazards from tropical and extra-tropical cyclones and sea level rise, and (3) coastal management and resilience through interdisciplinary decision-support strategies.
