Rafael Cabral Carvalho

I am a coastal geomorphologist/marine geologist interested in the evolution of landforms during the Quaternary and their connection with coastal catchments and continental shelves. I have undertaken research on coral reefs, sandy beaches, estuaries, wetlands, strandplains, rock platforms, carbonate and siliciclastic shelves in many parts of the world including Brazil, Australia, the South Pacific and Southeastern Asia. I have published around 50 peer-reviewed scientific articles. The findings from my research have provided significant guidelines for better management of these environments into the future. I have served as editor and reviewer for several international scientific journals and research programs. I am a past lecturer at the school of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Wollongong and also held research positions at other universities in Australia. I'm also a member of several scientific organizations and societies.
