My research focuses on understanding physical processes in coastal environments and linking these to evolution of the coast over a range of time scales. Specific topics of interest include:

• Wave driven surf zone currents on beaches and reefs.
• Inlet dynamics and interaction with adjacent coast.
• Mechanisms of sediment transport in near coastal waters.
• Beach and coastal response to storms and sea level rise.
• Cyclone impacts on reef-fringed beaches
• Development of new in situ and remote sensing techniques to measure waves, water levels, and currents in the surf zone.
• Development of topographic and nearshore bathymetric mapping systems.
• Wave energy; arrangement of devices and their near- and far-field impact on waves, currents and sediment transport.
