I am part of the Marine Environmental Geoscience group at the Geological Survey Canada (Atlantic). My research focuses on understanding sedimentary and geohazard processes in marine environments, particularly turbidity currents, submarine landslides, and subsea permafrost. I combine direct monitoring techniques (e.g., repeat seabed mapping and mooring deployments) with hydroacoustic data to link active processes to seafloor change and assess risks to offshore infrastructure. A significant part of my work also examines how glaciation and deglaciation have shaped continental margins in Canada, including the timing and recurrence of marine geohazards, through the analyses of marine sediment cores.Â
