Davin Wallace
Professor
Bio
I am a geologist who investigates the response of coastal and marine systems to storms, sea-level rise, and sediment supply variations over timescales ranging from days to 100,000 years. I combine field observations, lab measurements, and numerical modeling in my work. I have active field sites around the Gulf of Mexico, Bermuda and the Philippines.
