From page 168...
... Specific interests have been shallow-water wave transformation, wave instabilities and breaking, vertical and horizontal structure of longshore currents, generation of short-crested waves and their transformation at a coast, sediment entrainment in turbulent boundary layers, stability of coastal profiles in response to storm waves and lake-level variation, and dynamics of submarine canyons. He has just completed an appointment as vice-chairman of the National Research Council's Committee on Coastal Engineering 168

... He also consults with local officials, state and federal agencies, and the public on planning assistance, shoreland zoning, and technical assistance on Great Lakes-related issues. He plans regulatory measures, conducts shoreland recession rate studies, delineates high-risk erosion areas, establishes setback requirements, makes official regulatory designations of high-risk erosion areas, and administers appeals of designation.
