Wonsuck Kim

Wonsuck Kim is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on sediment transport, deltaic systems, and experimental stratigraphy, with emphasis on linking morphodynamic processes to subsurface architecture. He leads a research group conducting flume experiments and numerical modeling to understand depositional systems' responses to environmental forcing.

His expertise includes quantitative stratigraphy, shoreline dynamics, and planetary surface processes. Notable contributions involve studies on delta restoration, autogenic vs. allogenic controls on stratigraphy, and Mars meandering rivers. He has advised numerous graduate students and postdocs, including Max S. Daniller-Varghese, Anastasia Piliouras, and Vanentina Rossi.

• Education: Ph.D. in Geological Sciences (implied by roles)
• Affiliations: Sediment Experimentalist Network, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Jackson School.

Key research programs include NSF-funded studies on delta dynamics, aeolian dune modeling, and planetary surface processes. Awards include the Geoscience Information Society Best Paper Award (2016) and multiple teaching fellowships.

His work integrates field data, lab experiments, and numerical models to advance understanding of sedimentary systems' evolution. Current projects explore sea-level rise impacts on deltas and salt substrate dynamics.
