Reide Corbett is the featured speaker at the Beach Ball.

Reide Corbett was born and raised in coastal North Carolina. After receiving his Ph.D. in oceanography from Florida State University he joined the faculty at East Carolina University (ECU). He is now the Dean of Integrated Coastal Programs, the Executive Director of the Coastal Studies Institute, and a professor in the Department of Coastal Studies at ECU. Corbett is a coastal oceanographer and geochemist with an overall scientific interest in the geochemical and geomorphic dynamics of coastal and open ocean environments. Corbett’s research includes coastal change and geomorphic evolution of coastal systems across telescoping timescales.
Led by East Carolina University (ECU), The Coastal Studies Institute (CSI) is a multi-institutional research and educational partnership of the UNC System including North Carolina State University, UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Wilmington and Elizabeth City State University. The Coastal Studies Institute, located on the ECU Outer Banks Campus, focuses on integrated coastal research and education programming centered around the needs, issues, and concerns of coastal North Carolinians by bringing together the various disciplines of both the natural and social sciences. The mission of the Coastal Studies Institute is, “to undertake research, offer educational opportunities, and provide community outreach that embraces the unique history, culture and environment of the maritime counties of northeastern North Carolina.”
