Contributions to Coastal Sea Level Extremes: Understanding the Past and Projecting the Future; Improving the Resiliency of Island Nations to Sea Level Rise Through Assessment of Island-Mesoscale Interactions; Integrated Sea-Level Science for Societal Value and Decision Support

I am interested in the dynamics of sea level change at interannual to decadal time scales, as well as the impact of regional and global mean sea level change on the statistics of coastal water level extremes.
