Coastal Working Group
Introduction
The Coastal Working Group deals with delta, estuary, bays and lagoons, and nearshore challenges. The Coastal and Marine Working Group held a joint meeting on February 25-26, 2009, at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. Follow this link for more information about the February meeting.

Brad received all his degrees from the University of Minnesota –a BA (Journalism) and a BIS (Science) in 1986, a Masters (Physics) in 1990, and a PhD (Geology) in 1995—and was a postdoc at Scripps Institution of Oceanography until 1998. He is currently Associate Professor of Geomorphology and Coastal Processes at Duke University. Brad studies landscape evolution and pattern formation in a variety of environments, but concentrates these days on the morphodynamics of shallow sea beds, tidal marshes, and sandy and rocky coastlines. Brad uses relatively simple numerical models to explore hypotheses, usually motivated by field observations, about how landscapes in these environments come to be and how they might respond as the climate forcing shifts. Increasingly, this research involves two-way couplings between physical and biological (including human) processes.
Announcements
The next meeting is being planned for the Fall of 2009 at the CSDMS Integration Facility in Boulder, Colorado.
