Peter Ruggiero is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Oregon State University, where he conducts coastal geomorphology research. He serves as Director and Principal Investigator of the NSF-funded Cascadia Coastlines and Peoples Hazards Research Hub, focusing on coastal community resilience in the Pacific Northwest.
Educational background includes:
- BS Civil Engineering, Lehigh University (1991)
- MS Civil Engineering, Oregon State University (1993)
- PhD Civil Engineering, Oregon State University (1997)
His research spans coastal geomorphology, hazards, and nearshore processes, emphasizing climate change impacts on coastal systems. Recent work examines compound flooding, dune evolution, and sediment transport dynamics.
Key publication trends show focus on:
- Climate change and coastal hazards
- Wave dynamics and runup modeling
- Ecosystem-based coastal protection
- Statistical-dynamical modeling frameworks
- Human-natural system interactions
- Community resilience strategies
He has advised multiple PhD and Master's students at Oregon State University and Evergreen State College. His lab develops forecasting models for coastal hazard assessments and manages field experiments on dune systems.
