Immediate opening: Seeking a postdoctoral scholar position to work with Dr. Ann Cook and I on a Gulf of Mexico gas hydrates project. The project is funded by the US Department of Energy with collaborators at UT Austin and Lamont-Doherty (Columbia University).
For Fall 2017: I am seeking a doctoral student to join my research group to work on submarine landslides.
I work on a wide variety of marine geology and geophysics projects. Currently, the major projects that we have ongoing are:
Deepwater:
Geohazards and gas hydrates in the Gulf of Mexico
Role of earthquakes on underwater landslides
Role of microfossils and volcanic ashes in submarine landslides
Retrogressive submarine landslides offshore North Carolina (GeoPRISMS ENAM)
Slope stability of channel-levee systems
Shear strength of marine sediments
Coastal:
Sediment dynamics in mixed siliciclastic-carbonate systems, St. John, US Virgin Islands
Tsunami deposits preserved in coastal salt ponds, St. John, US Virgin Islands
Lake floor sedimentary processes in Lake Erie.
