Elizabeth Fassman-Beck, Ph.D.

Engineering Dept. Head
Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, California, United States

Dr. Elizabeth Fassman-Beck is Head of the Engineering Department. Her primary responsibility is to implement SCWWRP’s Stormwater BMPs (best management practices) research theme. Her research in urban stormwater management quantifies the hydrologic and water quality performance of BMPs, with an emphasis on green infrastructure (GI)/Low Impact Development (LID) technologies such as living (green) roofs, bioretention systems (rain gardens and planters), permeable pavements, swales, and floating treatment wetlands. Research outcomes have led to numerous publications in highly respected journals, a co-authored technical book, Living Roofs in Integrated Urban Water Systems, and design specifications for regulatory agencies in New Zealand and North Carolina.

She received her Ph.D. and M.S. in civil engineering from the University of Virginia and her B.S.E. in civil and environmental engineering from Duke University. She joined SCCWRP in 2019.
