Overview

Antonio B. Rodriguez is affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States. Their research spans Earth and Planetary Sciences as well as Environmental Science, with a focus on several subfields including Earth-Surface Processes, Ecology, Atmospheric Science, Global and Planetary Change, and Oceanography.

Their work engages deeply with topics related to Coastal and Marine Dynamics, Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, Geology and Paleoclimatology Research, Tropical and Extratropical Cyclones Research, Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies, Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies, and Aeolian processes and effects.

Rodriguez has contributed multiple papers, notable among them:

  • Coastal sedimentation across North America doubled in the 20th century despite river dams, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Long-term washover fan accretion on a transgressive barrier island challenges the assumption that paleotempestites represent individual tropical cyclones, 2020, Scientific Reports

They have collaborated frequently with researchers including Davin J. Wallace, John B. Anderson, Molly C. Bost, Justin T. Ridge, and Alexander R. Simms.

Several publication venues have hosted Rodriguez's research, predominantly:

  • UNC Libraries
  • Journal of Geophysical Research Earth Surface
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Communications Earth & Environment
  • Nature Communications

In addition to journal articles, Rodriguez has contributed to book publications, notably through the Geological Society of America. One such contribution is the book titled Holocene Evolution of the Western Louisiana-Texas Coast, USA: Response to Sea-Level Rise and Climate Change, published in 2022.
