Dissertation Topic: Exploring the spatiotemporal variability of total water levels and associated drivers across the United States coastlines
Research Statement: I am a coastal scientist interested in assessing sea level variability and coastal hazards in a changing climate. My doctoral research explores the relationships between oceanographic processes and coastal morphology through extreme total water levels. In this work, I integrate observational datasets with geospatial and extreme value analyses to assess the drivers, frequency, and impacts of coastal flooding and erosion events along the United States coastlines.
