Following her graduation from Texas A&M University, Mary A. Bryant joined the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory as a research hydraulic engineer. Passionate about the coastal environment, Ms. Bryant applies both numerical and physical model approaches to study nearshore water wave processes. Her EWN-related research explores the roles of vegetation in mitigating coastal flooding, specifically the mechanisms by which vegetation attenuate propagating waves and stabilize coastal dunes.
