I am a geomorphologist investigating how coastal, glacial, and aeolian landscapes evolve across timescales ranging from individual storms to Quaternary climate cycles. My research integrates satellite remote sensing, uncrewed aircraft systems, ground-penetrating radar, RTK-GNSS surveying, Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry, and field observations to measure Earth-surface change and evaluate uncertainty in geospatial data. My recent work examines automated shoreline mapping, the coastal impacts of tropical cyclones, satellite-derived glacier velocities, and the long-term evolution and stratigraphy of coastal dune systems.
