Research Interests
Sediment transport in wave-current boundary layers; shoreface morphodynamics especially the dynamics of nearshore bar systems; simulation of bedforms under waves and currents; development of wave-current boundary layer sensors; numerical models of coastal sediment transport; bedforms and sedimentary structures under combined flows; coastal erosion and sedimentation (lacustrine and marine); sediment parameters and paleoenvironmental reconstruction; environmental impacts in coastal systems.
