|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Quantification of the record of marine sedimentary processes using a combination of sediment analyses,
short lived radio isotopes and high resolution marine geophysics. Focus areas include:
1) Coastal morphodynamics of the upper Texas shore face and inner shelf: (Galveston and Follett's Island,
Matagorda Peninsula, Brazos River mouth, South Padre Island)
2) Estuarine sedimentary processes and modern strata formation (Texas Bays: Galveston, Lavaca,
Matagorda and Copano Bays; Naples Bay, FL; Chesapeake Bay,; Simpson Bay, Prince William Sound, AK)
3) Geological record and response to extreme events- Hurricanes Claudette (2003), Katrina and Rita |
