Project Description
Reza Marsooli is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. He received his B.S. in civil engineering from the Azad University of Tehran (Central Branch), M.S. in civil engineering with a concentration in water/hydraulic engineering from the University of Tabriz, and Ph.D. in engineering science with a concentration in computational hydro science and engineering from the University of Mississippi. Marsooli leads a research group that aims to advance our understanding and prediction capabilities of storm surge and wind-wave climate, flood hazards and mitigation, and the effects of climate change on coastal areas. Examples of his ongoing research studies are the vulnerability of New Jersey’s barrier islands to extreme sea levels; benefits of nature-based features such as beaches and vegetation for mitigating flood hazards and increasing the performance of engineered structures such as seawalls; and wind-wave climate change and variability. His research findings appear in impactful scientific papers published by renowned journals such as Nature Communications, Coastal Engineering, and Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. Marsooli has been featured in the local, national, and international media and commented on the effect of climate change on coastal hazards and their impacts on communities.
