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 evolution
• Ground-penetrating radar applications in coastal environments
• Nearshore sediment transport
• Impacts of extreme storms and tsunami along coastlines
• Response and recovery of beach-dune systems along barrier islands
