Dr. Cleary teaches Environmental Geology, Physical Geology, Oceanography, Coastal Sedimentary Environments and Coastal Management.
Research Interests:
Dr. Cleary is a marine and coastal geologist whose interests include coastal management oriented investigations involving inlet and hurricane related shoreline changes and the modification of inlet systems for sand resources for nourishment purposes. His inner continental shelf studies focus on the inter-relationships between the shoreface geology and the nature of shoreline change along the adjacent barriers and headlands. Geologic mapping of these offshore areas is based on remotely sensed data and SCUBA diving based sampling programs.
