Location Horn Point Laboratory
Areas of Expertise Impact of storms and sea-level rise on wetlands eco-geomorphology, interaction between river (and estuaries) hydrodynamics and coastal processes

Bio

My research goal is to understand the fundamental geomorphic mechanisms governing the evolution of coastal environments and to predict their long-term trajectories under different scenarios.

My current research plan has two main topics: 1) the impact of storms and sea level rise on wetlands eco-geomorphology; 2) coupling between river (and estuaries) hydrodynamics and coastal processes, with a particular focus on the impact of waves. My studies have a balanced method in a wide range of scientific fields: numerical modeling, field work, remote sensing and laboratory experiments.
