Research and Teaching Interests

My Coastal Geosystems Research Lab deals with a number of geo-projects in the field of fundamental (sea level variability and coastal change, river deltas and human land modification, sediment- /hydrodynamics on continental shelves, paleoceanography and -climate) and applied (silting and erosion issues, heavy metal contamination, floating anthropogenic debris) research.

We cooperate with various universities and public institutions in South Carolina. Our projects are also performed in collaboration with colleagues in North Carolina, Georgia, Massachusetts and California, as well as Germany, Spain, Portugal, Brazil and Argentina.

I teach various courses in coastal and marine geoscience and sustainable governance at undergraduate, MS and PhD levels, and offer undergraduate and graduate students a wide range of opportunities to gain experience as members of our research team (MSCI 395, 399, 497H, 700, 799).

Please reach out to me if you are interested in learning more about our projects, field and lab activities as well as opportunities to join the team.
