Advisor:
Dr. Joseph F. Donoghue

Field of study:
Coastal Geology, Paleotempestology





Current Research

The problem addressed by my research is to document and better understand the sedimentary characteristics and geometry of major storm deposits in coastal regions. By investigating these sediments and dating individual deposits, a more accurate understanding of the nature and frequency of paleo-storm deposits will result, enabling a better estimate of the risk and long-term effects of catastrophic storm events on the northwest Florida coast and elsewhere.
