Brad Weymer

Research Interests

My primary research interests include coastal geomorphology, near-surface geophysics and process sedimentology. More specifically, my interests include the following:

•    Beach-dune interaction and morphodynamics
•    Response and recovery of coastal systems to extreme storms and tsunami
•    Coastal dune response to climate and sea-level change
•    Applied near-surface geophysics in coastal environments
