Port resilience research: 12-minute survey from Oregon State University
Erick R Velasco Reyes
Dear Coastal List Members,
We are a research team at Oregon State University studying coastal-hazard resilience at Pacific ports, and we are gathering input directly from port leadership across the Pacific Rim. We are writing to this community to ask for your help reaching them.
If you are affiliated with a port in any role — leadership, planning, operations, engineering, advisory, or research collaboration — we would deeply value your response. If you are not directly affiliated but work with port stakeholders in your research or consulting, please consider forwarding this invitation to a colleague who would be the right fit. The reach this community has into port decision-making is what makes broad participation possible.
The survey takes about 12 minutes and asks about the hazards a port is most concerned with (tsunamis, storms, sea-level rise, seismic, etc.), the planning and infrastructure investments that have been made, and where the biggest gaps remain. Results will inform open-access research for ports across the Pacific.

Open through: June 11, 2026
Responses are confidential. We report only aggregated findings, never individual ports.
Happy to answer any questions before you take it. Thank you for considering it.
Best regards,
