Activities
My research interests include various aspects of Quaternary geology and glacio-eustatic sea levels (in particular submerged aeolianite/beachrock complexes; carbonate diagenesis; shoreface-attached ridges and the Holocene sediment wedge, and the regional interpretation sub-seafloor continental shelf geology by the application of sequence stratigraphy). These studies are carried out by the integration of stratigraphic relationships between units using high-resolution geophysical data and complimentary geological mapping offshore by SCUBA diving.
