Biography

Brian Greenwood is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Geography & Planning at the University of Toronto Scarborough. His research focuses on sediment transport, wave-current interactions, boundary layers, and shoreface morphodynamics. He has made significant contributions in understanding the dynamics of nearshore bar systems and has applied numerical models for coastal sediment transport. His work includes the simulation of bedforms and the study of waves and currents, alongside the development of boundary layer sensors. Greenwood's expertise extends to sedimentary structures in coastal erosion and sedimentation processes in both lacustrine and marine contexts. He is dedicated to the paleoenvironmental reconstruction and the assessment of environmental impacts on coastal systems, emphasizing the relevance of sediment parameters in these studies.
