Research Interests: Landscape Evolution

Understanding the influences of varying climate, relative sea level change and tectonics on the development of continental margins, both onshore and off.  Examining these processes involves nearshore to outer continental shelf sedimentation, stratigraphy, tectonic processes, paleoclimate, relative sea level change, and fluvial morphology and sedimentation, as well as onshore/offshore interactions.
