Dr. Kathy Ketteridge has more than 17 years of experience in analysis and design of a wide variety of coastal engineering, restoration, and enhancement projects on the West, Gulf, and East coasts. She has provided technical expertise to design efforts through modeling and oceanographic analysis, as well as managed estuarine- and marine-based engineering projects from initial planning and permitting through design and construction. She leads business development and strategic marketing efforts for coastal engineering/waterfront/restoration sectors.

Dr. Ketteridge brings focused and proven technical proficiency to projects in the areas of metocean data analysis, coastal processes evaluation, hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling, scour analysis, analysis of hydrodynamic and vessel loads on coastal protection and port structures, development of coastal design criteria, design of soft and hard shoreline stabilization, and analysis of impacts of sea level rise on project implementation and sustainability. She is experienced with a wide-range of numerical models including 2 D and 3-D hydrodynamic models (Delft3D, RMA2, HEC-RAS), wave transformation models (STWAVE, SWAN), and berthing/mooring load models (OPTIMOOR).

She has also been involved in or led projects involving significant stakeholder and/or public involvement, and is recognized for her ability to communicate scientific and engineering information to a wide audience.
