Research interests: I am fundamentally a broadly-trained geological oceanographer who has addressed sedimentary geology/stratigraphy problems from the estuarine system out to the base of slope—primarily in carbonate or mixed siliciclastic/carbonate environments. My associates, graduate students, and I have defined the response of coastal and shelf depositional systems to sea-level fluctuations, climate changes, western boundary currents, antecedent topography, and sediment supply. Specifically this includes geologic origin and evolution of submerged paleo-shorelines, reefs (relict and active), shelf sand bodies, open marine marsh systems, barrier islands, and back-barrier environments and how they might have interacted with each other in the past. Our primary research tools are high-resolution seismic reflection profilers, swath and multibeam high resolution bathymetric systems, side-scan sonars, geoacoustic seafloor-classification systems, and ROV's. Additionally, we have used a variety of submersibles including the Alvin. I also have been heavily involved in scientific ocean drilling and have sailed on the JOIDES Resolution (Co-chief scientist—Leg 182, and sedimentologist—Leg 194). Both legs examined carbonate sedimentation along continental margins.
