Work

Angelina is a scientist on the Coastal Louisiana Project at Environmental Defense Fund. A wide variety of natural and anthropogenic processes contribute to Louisiana’s high coastal land loss rates.

Angelina’s work includes securing restoration of the natural functioning of the Lower Mississippi River system for wetland restoration and hurricane protection. Increased effort is being undertaken to understand the factors affecting land loss, and how to offset this process.

Angelina has experience in coastal geology and geophysics, coastal processes, remote sensing and GIS applications, image and spatial analysis, numerical modeling of sediment transport, and coastal hydrodynamics.
