Research Scientist
Ph.D. 2017 from Haifa University
In IOLR since 2024
Research interests:
Marine and coastal geomorphological processes including recent and paleo studies.
My studies include the use of sedimentological and shallow seismic methods to understand the different processes shaping the coastal and marine landscape. The studies range from the estuary to deep submarine canyons, and the connection between them, and vary in time from recent (and prediction of future) changes to paleo-environmental changes and how it affected human life back then.
