Duncan FitzGerald is a Professor in the Department of Earth & Environment at Boston University. His major research interests lie in shallow marine geology, focusing on the inner continental shelf and coastal zones. Over the past ten years, he has concentrated on the hydraulics and sediment-transport characteristics of tidal inlets and estuaries, particularly in New England and North Carolina. His work encompasses the morpho-stratigraphy of coastal sedimentary accumulation forms, conducting extensive fieldwork and laboratory analyses, as well as numerical modeling. FitzGerald's current research initiatives aim to quantify the impacts of accelerated sea-level rise on backbarrier marshes, analyze morphodynamics and bedform evolution in various locations, investigate wave-current interactions in Boston Harbor, and study inner-shelf sedimentary signatures related to transgression and regression. His research is supported by several organizations and utilizes data from water column measurements, seismic imagery, sediment samples, and ground-penetrating radar.
Department of Law offers JD, LLM, and Master's in Study of Tax Law.
