See Dr. Psuty's curriculum vitae for a complete list of publications, books, and presentations.

Dr. Norbert P. Psuty is Professor Emeritus in the Departments of Geography, Geological Sciences, and Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He is a coastal geomorphologist whose research encompasses the dynamics of the coastal zone, incorporating process-response studies of beaches, coastal dune processes and morphology, sediment budget studies, barrier island dynamics, estuarine sedimentation, and sea-level rise.
