Robert \u201cTony\u201d Dalrymple is the Willard and Lillian Hackerman Professor Emeritus in the department of Civil and Systems Engineering, having earned the emeritus status in 2016.<\/p>\n
Dalrymple\u2019s research is focused on coastal engineering, which includes water waves and their impact on shorelines, structures, the ocean bottom, and water-related natural hazards, such as rip currents and tsunamis. His most recent research involves the dissipation of waves propagating over mud and the application of the numerical method smoothed particle hydrodynamics to free surface flows using graphics cards for computation (GPUSPH).<\/p>\n
Dalrymple is a Distinguished Member of ASCE and in 2013 he became an Acad\u00e9mico Correspondiente of the Real Academia de Ingenier\u00eda in Spain. He is a former member of the Coastal Engineering Research Board of the Corps of Engineers and former chair of ASCE\u2019s Coastal Engineering Research Council and the National Research Council\u2019s Marine Board. Dalrymple was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering in 2006 and named a Fellow for the Coasts, Oceans, Ports & Rivers Institute (COPRI), a semi-autonomous institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 2010.<\/p>\n
Dalrymple is also the founder of coastal list, a list-serve for coastal engineers worldwide. In total, Dalrymple has served on eight National Research Council committees related to coastal issues.<\/p>\n
In 2013, Dalrymple was a H. Burr Steinbach Visiting Scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.\u00a0 He received his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College, his master\u2019s from University of Hawaii, and his PhD from University of Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1205","people","type-people","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
