Prof. Beverly Goodman-Tchernov

Beverly Goodman grew up with the sound of waves hitting the shores and fell in love with all things water related. Today, she is a marine geo-archaeologist, and studies how archaeology, geology, and anthropology of marine systems can help us understand the way nature and humans impact coastlines in the past, present, and what that relationship will bring going into the future. Amongst her interests include ancient harbors, disasters, and coastal change.  Her work has contributed to tsunami disaster planning and education in Israel and the eastern Mediterranean. She is an Associate Professor at the University of Haifa Leon Charney School of Marine Sciences, Department of Marine Geosciences (Department Head), a National Geographic Explorer and has been seen on television programs, often addressing the world's ancient marine and coastal mysteries, what is truth and what is fiction, and how it might matter for us today.
