My research is focused on imaging and visualizing complex subsurface structures, especially sedimentary features, and understanding the related sedimentary processes that generated these features. I am interested in the whole range of glacial, estuarine, shelf and slope processes and how sediment is transported from the land across the shelf to the ocean. I am studying these processes by applying a variety of geophysical techniques including acoustic imaging, 2D and 3D reflection seismic and ground-penetrating radar, and magnetics. Using GIS I integrate the results of different geophysical measurements with additional information such as sediment samples and bottom observations. |
