Jun Cheng

Jun Cheng is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Geosciences, University of South Florida. He specializes in coastal geology, remote sensing, and hydrodynamics, with a focus on beach morphodynamics, satellite imagery analysis, and environmental monitoring. His research integrates field measurements, numerical modeling, and advanced remote sensing techniques to address coastal and environmental challenges.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Geology (2015), University of South Florida – Dissertation: Multiple Scale of Beach Morphodynamic Processes: Measurements and Modelling (Advisor: Dr. Ping Wang)
  • M.S. in Physical Geography (2009), Nanjing University – Thesis: Growth Limit of Tidal Flat along the Coast of Jiangsu Province (Advisor: Dr. Shu Gao)
  • B.S. in Geography (Nantong University)

His research interests span coastal processes, remote sensing applications in environmental monitoring, and geospatial analysis. He has contributed to studies on beach profiles, hydrodynamic conditions in nearshore zones, and anomaly detection in hyperspectral imagery. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining field data with computational modeling.

Cheng teaches GLY 4734: Beaches/Coastal Environments at the University of South Florida, focusing on coastal geomorphology and environmental dynamics.
