Thrilled to share my (First)^2 author paper on the "Mechanisms of Pond Expansion in a Rapidly Submerging Marsh" . We show that small emergent ponds quickly coalesce into larger bodies at rates related to surrounding marsh health. Open-access article here:

Barrier islands don’t just get pushed landward—sometimes, they get erased seaward. If we want to forecast barrier island futures, we may need to treat overwash and outwash as fundamentally different beasts. New publication is out in JGR Earth Surface - .

It's totally ~columnar~ to see my photo on the September page of the Geologic Society of America's calendar. These columnar basalts, formed 3-4 million years ago in the Azores, act as a knickpoint over which the Cascata da Ribeira do Maloás flows. #livelovelava #azores

Using imagery classifiers trained on ground-truthed data collected by the Kuikoru people, we reveal that ~4% of the Amazonian Xingu Territory is Terra Preta - dark earth enriched in carbon (and artifacts) by past human activity. @MITgeomorph @UNC_EMES.

This past week and a half we’ve familiarized ourselves with techniques big and small from long-wave radar canopy mapping by @SARevangelist to sediment microscopy with Dr. Erwan Gensac. So much potential it’s dizzying!. #NSFASI #SAR #Sedimentology

Had a chance to install OpenOBS sensors (thanks to @TedLanghorst) in the macro-tidal marshes of the Gulf of Morbihan, France with the help of @UBS_universite scientists. Been a flash of a few days getting to know fellow coastal scientists #NSFASI and reading new environments
