Geophysics.Coastal evolution of the eastern Hudson Bay coast with emphasis on the stratal architecture developed as a result of isostatic emergence and as an analogue for ancient shoreline sedimentary rocks laid down under falling relative sea level (forced regression). Students and I studying a variety of modern delta and strandplain environments in order to understand the variability of such systems and the resultant deposits (use marine geophysical techniques such as sidescan sonar, high-resolution seismic profiling and coring as well as terrestrial methods such as ground-probing radar).
