Research

Areas of Interest: My research interests revolve around the intricate relationship between natural coastal processes and human activities, focusing on understanding how these interactions impact and transform coastal environments. I develop innovative remote sensing and geospatial workflows to map, monitor, and model the dynamic changes occurring in coastal environments. This approach is a valuable resource for supporting sustainable coastal management strategies like erosion control, habitat restoration, and responsible land use. While I’ve conducted significant research along the Hawai’i and South Florida coastlines, my recent work has been concentrated in North Carolina. Here, I collaborate closely with geographers, geologists, ecologists, atmospheric scientists, planners, and coastal engineers to understand the effectiveness of hardened and nature-based coastal protection methods.
