Prof. Dov Zviely is a coastal geomorphologist specializing in coastal processes, sediment transport, shoreline evolution, and coastal morphodynamics. He is a faculty member at the Faculty of Marine Sciences, Ruppin Academic Center, Israel, where he heads the M.A. Program in Marine Resources Management. He served as Dean of the Faculty of Marine Sciences from 2022 to 2025. His research focuses on shoreline and seabed evolution, sediment transport and sediment budgets, sea-level changes, and the interaction between coastal infrastructure and natural sedimentary systems. Much of his work has focused on the Mediterranean coast of Israel and the Nile littoral cell, integrating field studies, bathymetric and topographic surveys, sedimentological data, historical records, remote sensing, and GIS-based analyses. His research also addresses Holocene coastal evolution, coastal geoarchaeology, beach and cliff erosion, the morphological effects of ports and other coastal structures, beach nourishment, and the implications of sea-level rise for coastal environments and infrastructure. Prof. Zviely has extensive experience in applied coastal and marine research and marine environmental planning. He has served for many years as a consultant on coastal and marine processes to Israel’s Ministry of Environmental Protection and has led and participated in national and international research projects. He teaches marine geology and coastal geomorphology and supervises M.Sc., M.A., and Ph.D. st
