Henry Bokuniewicz

Henry Bokuniewicz is a Professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on coastal sedimentary systems, submarine groundwater discharge, and coastal zone management.

Key research areas include:

• Coastal groundwater hydrology
• Marine geophysics
• Shoreline dynamics and erosion
• Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD)
• Marine spatial planning

Analysis of his recent articles (2018-2006) reveals a strong emphasis on SGD quantification, sediment transport mechanics, coastal erosion mitigation, and the use of geochemical tracers (e.g., radium isotopes) in marine environments. His work spans field studies in Brazil, Argentina, and New York, with applications to climate change adaptation and marine resource management.

He actively collaborates with international researchers and contributes to coastal policy frameworks through empirical studies of dredging impacts, sand resource management, and contaminant dispersion patterns.
