My areas of specialization address fundamental environmental questions that occur in terrestrial and submerged landscape settings by assessing geomorphological changes in various spatial and temporal scales due to climate changes, sea-level variations, and extreme tectonic events. Moreover, I conduct examinations to assess the impact of these natural events on coastal communities and, reciprocally, the influence of coastal settlers on the environment. In my research projects, I implement a wide array of methods and multi-proxy examinations, including remote sensing technics, shallow marine *bathymetric* and sub-seafloor *acoustical surveying*, terrestrial subsurface investigations through *ground penetrating radar*, geochemical and sedimentological analysis, Optically Stimulated Luminescence, and radiocarbon dating. The various analyses from the produced data are integrated and further examined in Geographical Information Systems platforms. This approach is carried out to produce sequence stratigraphy data sets that provide a detailed 4-D (X, Y, Z, t) understanding. Being a part of SIO/UC San Diego enabled me to interact with faculty from a wide range of fields, including Geosciences,, Biology, Anthropology, Archaeology, History, and Oceanography. Accordingly, and as demonstrated from the publications listed in my CV, I have mastered the tools to investigate fundamental natural and anthropogenic processes that occur on landscapes spanning from the late Pleistocene to modern times in a truly transdisciplinary (team science) fashion. I plan on further strengthening this holistic approach in my future academic ventures. During my post-doctoral and current appointment in SIO/UCSD, I have co-directed four graduate students, two undergraduate faculty-mentor projects, and an undergraduate senior honors thesis,all examining environmental changes that are related to coastal geomorphological development due to climate variation and sea-level rise.
