The DeFord Lecture series at the University of Texas at Austin Department of Geological Sciences is a forum for lectures by distinguished visitors and prestigious researchers from around the world. Davina’s talk will discuss her team’s work on modeling how Dauphin Island, Alabama, a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, will change under different storminess and sea level rise scenarios in the future.
