By tracking the origin and fate of sediments carried by rivers, tides, and storms, I aim to explain why saltmarshes, barrier islands, and oyster reefs reside where they do. I enjoy linking datasets across spatial scales \u2014 from 10 centimeter wide sediment cores up to 100 kilometer wide satellite images \u2014 to help answer these questions. I collaborate with colleagues who use these data to forecast which systems seem stable and which are at risk.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main lessons\/takeaways from the ASI fellowship:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Installing homemade turbidity sensors with a French faculty member&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshimmel.com\/\">Josh&#8217;s Website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He\/him Institution while in the program: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Study area: Geomorphology Graduate Degree:\u00a0Ph.D. Bio:\u00a0 My research explores changes in the earth\u2019s surface over timescales we can observe in our own lives; days to years.
