Research Interests

I am a geologist interested in using paleoclimate tools to understand and quantify potential changes in coastal hazards associated with anthropogenic climate change. Specifically, using an understanding of sediment transport dynamics to study sea level rise, storms, and coastal flooding, and how we might be able to use natural buffers to mitigate the effects of these hazards.
