EDUCATION: Candidate for Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Policy George Mason University, Fairfax Virginia Dr. Randolph McBride, Dissertation Committee Chair May 2002 – Present (with intent to graduate in May 2010) Ongoing dissertation is a study of the historical and contemporary coastal morphodynamics along the Virginia eastern shore. Research includes the testing of a model of barrier chain evolution initiated by relative sea-level rise; specifically, runaway transgression. The primary area of interest is Cedar and Parramore Islands and Wachapreague Inlet (mid-Delmarva peninsula). Components of the research include analyzing long-term shoreline, tidal inlet, and bathymetric changes to demonstrate the evolution of the coastal environment. My program of study focused on the environmental and aquatic sciences with an emphasis placed on coastal geomorphology, estuarine ecology, freshwater ecology, wetland ecosystem management, applied environmental applications, ecosystem management strategies, and environmental policy. Master of Science in Geographic and Cartographic Sciences George Mason University, Fairfax Virginia May 1997 – May 1999 My program of study focused on both the scholarly and technical aspects of physical, political, and cultural geography, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing methodologies, environmental studies, cartographic design and standards, geospatial data management, and the philosophy of geography.
