I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences. I am also a part of the UMaine's IGERT on Adaptation to Abrupt Climate Change. My research interests are focused on coastal processes and abrupt climate change. Currently I am studying catastrophic sand invasions that occurred in the Shetland Isles, UK.
