Coverage area for the topo-bathy profiles and their morphologic characteristics across the Atlantic and Gulf coastlines.
Rangley Mickey
Rangley Mickey is a Physical Scientist at the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida.
My research focuses on numerical model simulations of sandy coastlines during storm events, specifically tropical storms and hurricanes. Additionally, I have extensive experience analyzing hydrodynamic timeseries and topographic/bathymetric elevation datasets. I work on multiple teams to help implement decadal simulations for both hindcast and forecast purposes related restoration initiavites, as well as developing new operational models for national scale products related to coastal change hazards.
