Orson P. Smith, PhD, PE
(Alaska)

Dr. Orson Smith received a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1971 from the University of Kentucky, a graduate Diploma in Coastal Engineering and Port Planning in 1979 from the International Institute of Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering in Delft, the Netherlands, an MS in Civil Engineering in 1986 from Mississippi State University and a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography in 1989 from North Carolina State University. He is a registered Professional Civil Engineer in the State of Alaska. Orson accumulated 20 years' experience with the US Army Corps of Engineers as a Project Manager of dredging, hydrographic surveying, port, harbor, coastal erosion control, flood control, and other civil works projects, primarily in Alaska, but extending to coastal areas of the lower 48 and a number of overseas locations. He led coastal and Arctic engineering research projects for that agency. He joined the UAA Civil Engineering faculty in 1998, teaching undergraduate and graduate engineering courses. Orson is presently leading several research projects related to water resources and ocean engineering in Alaska. opsmith@uaa.alaska.edu
