Dr. Zarillo serving as president of SEA has 40+ years of experience in coastal processes, marine geology and physical oceanography.  He has conducted more than 75 sand source projects ranging from reconnaissance to permit level field investigations of shallow marine sand bodies and upland sand and gravel deposits. Dr. Zarillo is experienced in combining the interpretations of acoustic sub-bottom data with core borings to develop three-dimensional (3D) models to map the volume of beach quality material. Dr. Zarillo has extensively published on the application of geologic models for identifying and quantifying sand and gravel resources. He has conducted applied and basic research on continental shelf sediment dynamics, tidal inlet hydraulics, dynamics of barrier island systems, sediment transport mechanics and the hydrodynamics of nearshore and estuarine environments. Dr. Zarillo also has extensive experience in the application of statistics and time-series analysis to environmental studies and the application of remote sensing methods in coastal and terrestrial environments.
