My current research interests are in coastal and estuarine
geophysics. We are
applying high-resolution geophysical methods
(e.g., ground penetrating radar,
side-scan sonar, chirp sonar, RoxAnn acoustic, multibeam bathymetry)
integrated with sediment sampling techniques (e.g., hand-augering, vibracoring,
grab sampling) to study the shallow subsurface
of the on-land coastal plain and
the bottom and sub-bottom of the marine inland
bays, estuaries, and inner-most
continental shelf of the Mid-Atlantic region.

Our current major research effort is in partnership with
Delaware's Department
of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and Delaware's National
Estuarine Research Reserve to map the benthic habitat and sub-bottom
sediments of Delaware Bay.
