Professional Interests:
- Systematically developing a more rigorous understanding of carbonate sedimentary systems and their dynamics;
- Exploring how geomorphologic features create the stratigraphic record by characterizing the dynamics of patterns and processes in Holocene carbonate sedimentary systems;
- Testing concepts derived from Holocene pattern-process links to develop a predictive understanding of the stratigraphic record.
