Dr. Eric Grossman is a coastal and marine geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey who leads the USGS Coastal Habitats in Puget Sound Project on Large River Deltas that examines coastal processes affecting ecosystem-scale estuary restoration and coastal hazard mitigation planning. Dr. Grossman studies hydrodynamics, sediment transport, coastal change, and coastal climate impacts and has published extensively on recent sea-level history in California, Hawaii, and the Pacific basin and coastal evolution since the last deglaciation and in response to historical land use change. Eric is a member of the Skagit Climate Science Consortium and in the Pacific Northwest has been helping to develop tools including the web-based Puget Sound Coastal Resilience Tool, to help resource managers assess vulnerability and prioritize protection/restoration opportunities to increase resilient ecosystem and coastal community investments.
