Opportunities in Graduate Coastal Geology Studies
Some recent and ongoing research projects include:
- Examining the Holocene evolution of estuaries along the Northern Gulf of Mexico and mid Atlantic margins.
- Evaluating the controls on incised-valley morphology and fill architecture.
- Examining variations in beach erosion and barrier island evolution and morphodynamics.
- Assessing the impact of climate change and associated sea-level rise on coastal areas.
- Determining the evolution of oyster reefs at varying tidal elevations.
- Investigating the contribution of aeolian transported sediment to back-barrier accretion.
If you have an interest in any of these projects or coastal geology in general, and you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree, contact Dr. Rodriguez.
