For almost 20 years, she has been part of a multifaceted project that quantifies how sea level rise, storms and long-term erosion are shaping our shorelines. Her research contributions include advances in:Real-time forecasts and scenario-based predictions of coastal total water level and geomorphic change during stormsUse of wave runup parameterization in coastal hazard assessmentsBarrier island response to extreme storms and hurricanesModeling wave swash, setup, and runupLidar-derived measures of coastal changeHer work is both fundamental and applied: rigorous science on coastal processes is used to create tools for decision makers who are responsible for preparedness, response, and resilience along our coastlines. Her work on the effects of storms on the coastal communities of our Nation has raised public awareness about the value of scientific information on coastal vulnerability, helping residents prepare for future events. Most recently, she served as a Science Advisor for the Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program, helping to develop a National initiative for coastal change hazards research and applications.' professional_experience: [] title: Program Coordinator (Acting)
