Exhibition Lecture Mapping Waterways Through Art & Science
Christopher Daly, Ph.D.,assistant professor, Coastal Geomorphology Lauren Rosenthal McManus, featured artist, The Long View
Join Christopher Daly, Ph.D., assistant professor of coastal geomorphology at Florida Gulf Coast University, and The Long View featured artist, Lauren Rosenthal McManus, in a dynamic panel discussion that will investigate the intersections between Daly’s research tracking coastal geomorphology and storm impacts and McManus’ collaborative, multimedia representations of rivers and watersheds. Daly and McManus will discuss the similarities and differences in their research processes and the meaningful interactions between fieldwork, citizen science and the visual arts.
All museum lectures and public programs of The Baker Museum include same-day admission to The Baker Museum.

Christopher Daly
Christopher Daly is an assistant professor of Coastal Geomorphology in the Marine and Earth Science Department at Florida Gulf Coast University. He obtained his master’s from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, in 2009 within the Erasmus Mundus Coastal and Marine Engineering and Management (CoMEM) Program, which also allowed him to spend time in Norway and Spain as part of his study program. He completed his Ph.D. in 2013 at the University of Bremen, Germany, within the INTERCOAST Graduate College, which also allowed him to spend a year conducting field research in New Zealand. Daly’s research interests lie at the intersection of the fields of physical oceanography and coastal geology, specifically looking at the morphodynamic evolution of beach, barrier island and reef-lined coasts. He also conducts fieldwork and uses remote sensing techniques to gather hydrodynamic, bathymetric and topographic datasets. He joined FGCU in 2022 and is currently studying storm impacts on the Southwest Florida coast and sediment transport pathways around reef-lined coasts in Jamaica.
