Research Interests
My main research interests include the development and application of environmental modeling and quantitative paleoenvironmental reconstruction techniques with the aim of understanding the role of earthquakes, tsuanmis, and storms as driving mechanisms of Quaternary relative sea-level change and coastal evolution.
My research takes me to coastal and wetland ecosystems of temperate and tropical environments all over the world (Indonesia, Malaysia, French Polynesia, Belize, Bermuda, Alaska and most of coastal USA).
Present research includes using a multi-proxy approach (field and lab) to develop high-resolution Holocene tropical cyclone records from coastal New England, Florida, and the Caribbean.
