Alex Simms
I am a sedimentologist with a broad interest in siliciclastic systems. Most of my work has focused on Quaternary coastal systems and the processes that control their stratigraphic architecture and the environmental history recorded in their deposits. My fieldwork has included everything from multibeam imaging of the Antarctic seafloor to measuring section within the Permian outcrops of Western Oklahoma. However, despite these distractions, I usually return to coring estuaries along coastlines.

Elisa Medri - Ph.D. StudentMy research focuses on shelf sedimentation along central California Shelf. Working with colleagues at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center I am trying to determine the origin and tectonic significance of a few submerged shelf features in order to gain a better understanding of the earthquake and sea-level history of the central California coast.

Claire Divola - Ph.D. StudentI study the sedimentary record of marshes within Tomales Bay, a submerged section of the San Andreas Fault Zone, to determine if a record of past earthquakes has been preserved. This research will help us better understand the extent of past ruptures along this fault and the frequency at which they occur.

Emily Huffman - Ph.D. Student
My current research focuses on quantifying the interaction between relative sea level change and autogenic processes in order to better understand how raised beaches are formed in Antarctica.
