Research Interests
-
Initial research
endeavors dealt with beach processes and nearshore dynamics along
barrier islands. Subsequently, geomorphic reconnaissance and a study
of seasonal environmental changes in an Arctic delta were pursued.
Present research is concerned with the epidemiology and etiology of
water‑related fatalities and accidents; and the risk management of
public open‑water recreational beaches.
