Biography

Robin Mattheus is a coastal geologist with the Illinois State Geological Survey that works closely with the Illinois Coastal Management Program and the Illinois Sand Management Working Group. His current study focus is on linking coastal geomorphic development to framework geology, sand supply, human disturbances and lake hydrodynamics. Research efforts currently underway along the ~100km-long Illinois coast of SW Lake Michigan are aimed at providing data-driven insights into coastal morphodynamics to lakefront managers and various other stakeholder groups.
