On Tuesday, October 27th please join Dr. Ryan Mieras, Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW), for a discussion titled, "Beach Response Before, During and After Coastal Extreme Events."
Dr. Ryan Mieras is an Associate Professor in Coastal Engineering at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). His research encompasses nearshore sediment transport and hydrodynamic processes via field and laboratory studies, serving to improve our understanding of the physical processes driving coastal flooding and geomorphology in a changing climate. His research activities include basic small-scale sediment transport in the swash and surf-zones, applied instrumentation development, extreme event reconnaissance observation platforms, post-storm beach recovery, and affordable LiDAR and remote sensing coastal observation systems. Before joining academia, Dr. Mieras worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center, where he developed technology to measure sediment concentration in the coastal swash zone.
The Town of St. James welcomes all residents to attend.
