Welcome


me

I’m Robin McLachlan, an Assistant Professor of Geology at the College of Coastal Georgia.

As a broadly trained coastal geologist, I study sediment transport from source to sink, mountains to deep sea, focusing on the interaction between sediment and hydrodynamics in the fluvial-marine transition zone. I proudly apply the same scientific rigor and inquiry to my role as an educator and communicator. Thus, I have two overarching and intertwined goals:

  1. study coastal morphodynamics relating to past, present, and future conditions to inform management and preservation efforts, and
  2. research and implement teaching strategies that constructively align scientific content and communication skills to best achieve student learning goals and career success.
