Prospective PhD students and post-doctoral scholars

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.
