He became one of approximately 40 Senior Research Scientists within the US Army in 2006, where his responsibilities include leading innovation, research and development, and environmental initiatives. Dr. Bridges\u2019 responsibilities support goals related to resilience, sustainability, and environmental management. His primary areas of activity concern: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The science and engineering of sustainable infrastructure development; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk and decision analysis methods applied to infrastructure and environmental systems; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Management of sediment and environmental contaminants; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Natural systems engineering.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bridges was the National Lead for the USACE Engineering with Nature\u00ae (EWN\u00ae) initiative, which includes a network of research, field-scale applications, and communication activities to support the development of nature-based solutions. He led a large international collaboration over five years to develop and publish (in 2021) technical guidelines on the use of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) for coastal and fluvial flood risk management, <a href=\"\/?page_id=4351\">NNBF Guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bridges was the technical lead and Program Manager for the Dredging Operations Environmental Research (DOER) program, one of USACE\u2019s largest and longest-running R&amp;D programs. In 2020, Dr. Bridges led a large multi-disciplinary team to develop and apply modeling and analysis tools to support national responses to COVID-19. His work has been supported by programs within the USACE; the U.S. Army, Navy, and Department of Defense; other federal agencies; and the private sector. He has chaired international working groups and guidance development for the United Nations\u2019 International Maritime Organization and the World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC), where he currently serves as Chairman of PIANC\u2019s Environmental Commission.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bridges and his work have been recognized through receipt of several national, Army, and USACE awards. Dr. Bridges received a <a href=\"\/?p=6572\">Distinguished Presidential Rank Award<\/a> from President Biden in 2021 for \u201csustained extraordinary accomplishments.\u201d The magazine Engineering News-Record selected Dr. Bridges as one of its <a href=\"\/?p=7876\">25 Top Newsmakers<\/a> in the engineering and construction industry for 2021. The Secretary of the Army awarded Dr. Bridges with the Army\u2019s Distinguished Civilian Service Medal in 2020. Other awards include the Army Engineer Association\u2019s Bronze Order of the de Fleury Medal in 2014, the Outstanding Practitioner Award from the Society for Risk Analysis in 2012, the Government Service Award from the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry in 2009, the Army\u2019s Meritorious Civilian Service Medals in 2008 and 2021, among other awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EWN Initiative was awarded the 2013 USACE Environmental Award in Natural Resource Conservation, the 2014 USACE Sustainability Award for Green Innovation, and the 2019 Outstanding Achievement Award from the Renewal Natural Resources Foundation.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bridges has served on the editorial boards for the journals of Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and Dredging Engineering. He is a member of the Society for Risk Analysis, the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, PIANC, and is a member of the Board of Directors for the Western Dredging Association. Dr. Bridges also serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor with the College of Engineering at the University of Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last 30 years, Dr. Bridges has published more than 60 journal articles and several books, book chapters, and numerous technical reports. He received his B.A. (1985) and M.A. (1988) in Biology\/Zoology from California State University, Fresno and his Ph.D. (1992) in Biological Oceanography at North Carolina State University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Todd Bridges, the founder of USACE Engineering With Nature (EWN), retired on 28 February 2023.
