From 2007 to present her focus has been on integrating bathymetric/topographic elevation time-series data and geophysical subsurface chirp data along with sediment from vibracores to study recent and historical geomorphological changes of nearshore coastal environments along barrier islands. professional_experience: - Geologist, U.S. Geoloigcal Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, St. Petersburg, FL, 2000 - present title: Geologist
