Britt Raubenheimer is a Senior Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Physics from Middlebury College, VT, and spending a year skiing and hang gliding, Raubenheimer began her career in coastal oceanography working with the St. Petersburg, FL, USGS to study the processes driving the evolution of the Isle Dernieres Barrier Islands, LA. She was inspired to get a Ph.D., which she received from Scripps Inst. Oceanography. Raubenheimer’s research interests include surf and swash-zone hydrodynamics, interactions between ocean waves and the coastal groundwater, and morphological evolution of beaches, tidal flats, and inlets. Recently, she and her students and collaborators have focused on feedbacks among oceanographic, geomorphologic, hydrogeological, and geomechanical processes during major storms.
