Research Interests
- Process-based models of barrier island breaching. Development of a Coastal Storm Impulse scale (COSI) for the combined effects
of storm surge, waves, and storm duration. The Relative Trough Froude Number (RTFN) to quantify wave breaking initiation,
duration and termination in phase-resolving numerical models. The numerical modeling of three-dimensional water flows around
large, submerged objects in tidal estuaries. The development of ADCP technology to distinguish breaking and broken water
waves in an irregular wave train.
