Dr B.G. Reguero’s research spans areas of coastal engineering and ocean modeling, with a focus on the physical processes that govern coastal flooding and erosion and the role of ecosystems in coastal processes and hazards. His research and teaching interests span areas of coastal climate hazards, risks, adaptation and how use and engineer natural and nature-based infrastructure for climate resilience. He is an associate professor with the Coastal Science and Policy Program. In close partnership with the public and private sector, his work has informed new policy proposals to protect coastlines and coastal infrastructure in the U.S. and internationally, value U.S. coral reefs as natural infrastructure and developed innovative resilience insurance concepts that align climate risk and environmental goals (e.g. reef insurance). Dr. Reguero holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and Environmental Hydraulics, a M.S. in Coastal and Port Engineering, and a M.S. in Applied Economics.
