Publications
We have published more than 180 peer reviewed journal publications, many in Journals of the American Geophysical Union. Our papers shed light on the dynamics of coastal wetlands, tidal deltas, and salt marshes. We integrate field observations, remote sensing, and numerical modeling to understand how physical and ecological processes shape coastal landscapes
A complete list of my publications is available on Google Scholar and ResearchGate.
