Fields of interest:

Geoinformatics. High-resolution seafloor mapping in coastal waters and the deep sea. Deep submergence vehicle data acquisition and integration. Management of marine geoscience data.

My main scientific interests are in using high resolution geophysical mapping techniques to understand the processes that create and modify the seafloor.
