Cassandra Everett is a research civil engineer (coastal) with the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). As a member of the Coastal Processes Branch, she has worked on projects related to generation, mobilization and transport processes of fluid mud, coastal storm risk management benefits of natural and nature-based features and installation and community resilience under non-stationary hazards. Most recently, she conducted an investigation of commercially available ecosystem restoration products for military installation resilience to wave-driven hazards. Additionally, she currently leads a project evaluating USACE numerical modeling tools for compound flood modeling capabilities. She also played a vital role in creating the soon-to-be-published Engineering Guide for Oyster Reefs developed by EWN.
Cassandra graduated from the University of Delaware in 2022 (master’s degree in civil engineering with a focus in coastal engineering) and from the University of Southern California in 2018 (bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction engineering emphasis). She is a registered engineer intern and a member of the Society of Women Engineers, the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association, the American Society of Civil Engineers, Women in Coastal Geoscience and Engineering and the American Geophysical Union. Her work has been published in Frontiers in Built Environment.
