Join Surfrider & Oregon Shores as we welcome Meagan Wengrove to kick off our 2025 Oregon Beaches Forever Webinar Series. Meagan will talk about dynamic cobble berm revetments and coastal dunes as nature-based features used for coastal protection in Oregon. She will present two community tailored projects that she and her group have been working on and also include some observations and results from some of the latest findings coming out to inform nature based feature design. Meagan Wengrove is an Associate Professor at Oregon State University (OSU) in Coastal Engineering. One of her research themes is focused around Nature Based Solutions (NBS) for coastal protection, specifically applicable to the high energy shorelines of the Pacific Northwest coast. She and her research group do a mix of field, lab, and numerical modeling work focused around NBS. Meagan has been at OSU for 6 and a half years, before that she did her PhD at the University of New Hampshire and was a Fulbright Graduate Scholar in the Netherlands where she also worked with nature-based features. Meagan leads the Coastal Boundary Dynamics Research Group, which has a mix of graduate students, post-docs, undergraduate students, and research associates.
