He was a postdoctoral research scientist at University of South Carolina in Columbia from 1985-1986.
Since 1987, he has been a faculty member at Rice University. He is currently a Professor in the Earth Science Department and since 2007 the Executive Director of the Rice Center for the Study of Environment and Society.
His research has focused on studying the morphology of and the sediments accumulating on slopes and basin floor surrounding coral reefs and carbonate platforms. In the past 30 years, he has conducted research programs in the Bahamas, offshore Jamaica, along the Belize margin, in the western Gulf of Mexico, in the Maldives (Indian Ocean), along the Australian Great Barrier Reef, and the Gulf of Papua (Papua New Guinea).
