Leila Pike is a licensed Professional Engineer specializing in coastal, riverine, and groundwater modeling. She applies her hydraulic engineering expertise to model coastal storm surges and sea level rise to assess coastal flood risk and vulnerability in areas around the country. She uses her coastal modeling abilities to help municipalities and private homeowners remap FEMA flood zones through appeals and Letters of Map Revision. She determines wave parameters, wind speeds, and wave runup heights to assist in the design of coastal structures. She is well versed in a variety of wave transformation, wave setup, and wave runup software.

Ms. Pike is also skilled in modeling storm conditions in riverine and estuarine environments and has created riverine models to predict flood levels during coastal storms, as well as to determine hypothetical downstream flooded areas from potential dam failures. Additionally, she has experience creating and running groundwater models to determine wellhead protection areas and to understand groundwater flow around nuclear generating stations. She performs field data acquisition and data reduction to supplement the models.
