Reide Corbett
Overview
overview
Reide Corbett is a recognized expert on land-sea interactions, influence of climate on coastal change across telescoping timescales, and the geochemical tracers used to measure change along these boundaries. Dr. Corbett recently co-authored the NC Climate Science Report, focusing on sea level changes across the NC coast from the geologic past through the next century. He currently serves as the Dean of Integrated Coastal Programs at ECU and the Executive Director of the Coastal Studies Institute, an inter-institutional research partnership across five universities.
