AGU Young Researcher Spotlight featuring PhD candidate Daniel Ciarletta
The EPSP Young Researcher Spotlight is meant to highlight exciting new science coming from students and postdocs and is run by the EPSP Student Committee.

My most recent research involves using the morphology of beach ridge and swale systems to quantify past changes in shoreline sediment supply. This is a combined field/remote sensing/modeling project, and relies on stratigraphic investigation, LiDAR grids, historical aerials, and a cross-shore model that I built using MATLAB. One of my goals is to infer the sensitivity of real world coastal systems to changes in forcing, for example, from increasing rate of sea level rise.
