| Ms. Chenault Grandy specializes in near-shore oceanography, stream and longshore sediment transport, shoreline retreat, and coastal-zone hydrologic management. She uses archival documents, such as historical maps and aerial photographs, to document changed conditions. She uses physical and digital models, analysis of episodic sedimentation, mineralogical analysis and sediment-source tracing, statistical analysis to address channel, estuarine and shoreline changes. In addition to participating in several watershed investigations, she is leading Balance's assessment of sedimentation and circulation in Pillar Point Harbor as part of larger investigation of the sources and sinks of problematic levels of bacteria throughout the harbor. • Ph.D. Earth Sciences, UC Santa Cruz, 2007 • M.S.
