 abstract: My scientific background is in marine geology and my passion is working
   on basic scientific problems that have societal and management implications. I
   focus on understanding how coasts have evolved through time and space, so we can
   better predict their future behavior and minimize losses due to storms, chronic
   erosion and sea-level rise.

 abstract: "I lead the Coastal and Shelf Geology Group at the Woods Hole Coastal\
   \ and Marine Science Center. This internationally recognized team consists of\
   \ about 25 scientists and technologists who apply state-of-the-art methods to\
   \ map coastal/shelf environments and model the processes that shape them. Products\
   \ and tools produced from our studies help resource managers to make sustainable,\
   \ science-based decisions and mitigate the impacts of storms, sea-level rise,\
   \ and human activities along the nation\u2019s coasts. I have 30+ years of experience\
   \ in New England, the Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes, where I advise federal/state/local\
   \ agencies, Tribal nations, and non-governmental organizations on coastal erosion\
   \ strategies, environmental restoration projects, and offshore infrastructure\
   \ development. I also oversee efforts to recruit students from under-represented\
   \ groups to the USGS workforce through a speaker series and internship program\
   \ with the City College of New York."
