        My research is centered on analyzing beach cusp phenomena in the spatial
domain with respect to varying beach characteristics.While beach cusps
are well documented, and for the most part well understood, their intricacies are the focus of the research.  Beach cusps are a self-organized system and the goals of the research are to describe the system further.
