Research Interests: coastal processes, wave physics, surfzone flows, coastal groundwater, coastal morphology, pollution transport
Biographical Sketch:
My research interests include surf and swash-zone processes including feedbacks among oceanographic, morphological, hydrogeological, atmospheric, and geo-technical processes during extreme events. I lead the NSF-funded Nearshore Extreme Events Reconnaissance (NEER) Association (https://neerassociation.org) and participate on the Leadership Corps for the CONVERGE (https://converge.colorado.edu). I enjoy working with students and postdocs. publications and presentations have been shared. Together we have developed, presented, and published new fundamental science concepts and models, and developed community-driven science efforts such as iFlood (https://iflood.org/).
